Summary

Ridgeview Elementary School is a public elementary school in Orange Park, Florida, serving 581 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Clay District, which is ranked 17th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

While Ridgeview Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in 5th grade Science proficiency, its performance in English Language Arts and Math is generally below the district and state averages, especially in the upper grades. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.7% to 31.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Ridgeview Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.65% to 100%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite this, the school spends more per student ($10,907 to $12,155) compared to the state average, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 11.7 students per teacher.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Fleming Island Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state, Ridgeview Elementary's performance is generally lower. The nearby schools, such as Tynes Elementary and Oakleaf Village Elementary, have similar demographic profiles to Ridgeview but tend to outperform it academically. Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and the unique needs of the economically disadvantaged students may be crucial for improving the overall educational outcomes at Ridgeview Elementary School.
