Summary

Lake Asbury Junior High School in Green Cove Springs, FL, serves 940 students in grades 7 and 8 within the highly-rated Clay County School District, which ranks in the top 25% of Florida districts.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced math, with near-perfect proficiency rates (94-97%) on Algebra 1 and Geometry End-of-Course exams, matching elite schools like Fruit Cove Middle School and Switzerland Point Middle School in St. Johns County, despite serving a more economically diverse population. However, there is a notable "tale of two math scores": while 8th-grade FAST math proficiency is strong at 82%, 7th-grade FAST math proficiency lags at 42%, below both district and state averages. The school also benefits from a low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, lower than nearby Orange Park Junior High School (19.3:1) and Wilkinson Junior High School (18.2:1), and has relatively low chronic absenteeism at 25.7%, compared to 39.9% at Orange Park and 44.3% at Wilkinson.

Despite a recent dip in its state ranking to the 66th percentile after a long streak of 4-star ratings, Lake Asbury demonstrates resilience, matching or exceeding peers like Green Cove Springs Junior High School in 8th-grade math (82% vs. 79%) despite a higher percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (50.11% vs. 46.53%). The school's per-student spending of $10,978 is above average for Clay County but not the highest, suggesting effective resource allocation and strong instructional practices drive its success. The persistent 7th-grade math slump is a key area for targeted intervention, while the advanced math pathway remains a standout strength.
