Summary

Shadowlawn Elementary School in Green Cove Springs, FL, is a high-performing school within the top-ranked Clay County School District, serving 695 students in grades PK through 6 and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

Shadowlawn stands out for its exceptional early-grade performance, particularly in 3rd grade, where proficiency rates in math (91%) and ELA (88%) dramatically exceed district averages and outperform all nearby schools. This success is especially noteworthy given that Shadowlawn serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (59% free/reduced lunch) compared to high-performing peers like Thunderbolt Elementary (40%) and Spring Park Elementary (49%), yet still achieves superior results. The school also demonstrates efficient resource use, spending less per student ($11,160) than several lower-performing nearby schools like Swimming Pen Creek Elementary ($13,418) and Coppergate Elementary ($11,823).

While Shadowlawn excels in early grades, there is a noticeable decline in proficiency as students move to 4th and 5th grades, suggesting an opportunity to strengthen upper-elementary support. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has risen to 25.5% (2023-2024), up from 7.3% pre-pandemic, which is an area to monitor. The contrast with Charles E. Bennett Elementary, located just 7 miles away, is striking: Shadowlawn is a 4-star school in the 85th percentile, while Charles E. Bennett is a 1-star school in the 30th percentile, with a 34-percentage-point gap in 3rd grade ELA proficiency. This highlights Shadowlawn's exceptional ability to achieve top-tier results despite serving a diverse student population, making it a standout choice for families in the area.
