Elementary Schools in Nassau

Summary:

The Nassau County School District in Florida is home to 9 high-performing elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools consistently rank among the top in the state, with several standouts like Bryceville Elementary School, Hilliard Elementary School, and Callahan Intermediate School leading the way.

Bryceville Elementary is a small school with just 222 students, but it has consistently ranked in the top 5% of Florida elementary schools over the past three years. Its exceptional test scores, with 82-100% of students proficient in ELA and Math, as well as an impressive 82% 5th grade science proficiency rate, make it a standout in the district. Hilliard Elementary and Callahan Intermediate also perform exceptionally well, ranking in the top 16% and 14% of Florida elementary schools, respectively, with strong test scores across the board.

While the district as a whole is doing an excellent job, with a 4th place ranking out of 67 districts in Florida and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, there are some areas for improvement. The uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% across all schools is a significant issue that likely impacts student learning and achievement. Additionally, the wide range in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 35% to over 60%, suggests socioeconomic differences that may require tailored support and resources for each school community.
