Summary

Clay Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school serving approximately 450 students in grades PK-6 in Jacksonville, Florida. The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 17th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's strong performance, Clay Hill Elementary faces significant challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.7% to 32.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Tynes Elementary (31.4%) and Discovery Oaks Elementary (31.4%). Additionally, Clay Hill's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.11% to 100% over the past few years.

While Clay Hill Elementary spends more per student ($10,552 to $11,304) compared to nearby schools like Tynes Elementary ($9,433) and Discovery Oaks Elementary ($8,097), its academic outcomes are not commensurate with this higher level of spending. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting that it is struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the Clay District and the state of Florida.
