Summary

MacClenny Elementary School in MacClenny, FL, is a public school serving 550 students in grades 1-5 within the Baker County School District, and it stands out as a high-performing gem in a district ranked 41st out of 70 in Florida.

This school is a true standout, especially in math, where it acts like a "math powerhouse." For the 2025-2026 school year, 93% of 3rd graders and 77% of 4th graders are proficient in math—scores that are dramatically higher than nearby district peers like Legacy Elementary School (66% and 55%) and Westside Elementary School (68% and 56%). In English Language Arts, MacClenny's 3rd graders score 78% proficiency, compared to 50% at Legacy and 63% at Westside. The school has earned a consistent 4-star rating from Schooldigger over the past three years, ranking in the 71st to 79th percentile statewide, while its district rivals have fluctuated between 2 and 3 stars. Even compared to the top-tier Bryceville Elementary School (a 5-star school in the Nassau district), MacClenny holds its own in early grades, though Bryceville pulls ahead in upper elementary, like 5th-grade math (90% vs. 71%).

What makes MacClenny even more impressive is its efficiency and resilience. The school achieves strong results with a per-student spending of $10,989—less than Westside ($11,207) and far less than Bryceville ($15,197). Chronic absenteeism is low at 21.3%, well below the district (31.1%) and state (31.4%) averages, and the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch has dropped from 58% to 43% over two years. This combination of rising test scores, lower absenteeism, and efficient spending suggests a school community that has successfully recovered from pandemic-era challenges and is on a strong upward trajectory, making it a top choice for families in the area.
