Summary

Spring Park Elementary in Green Cove Springs, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 698 students in grades PK-6 within the Clay County School District, offering a strong, well-rounded education with a 3-star state rating and a notable 48.71% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

One of the biggest highlights at Spring Park is its exceptional science performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, 78% of 5th graders were proficient in science, significantly outpacing the district (66%) and state (60%) averages, and matching top performers like Fleming Island Elementary (76%) and Thunderbolt Elementary (81%). The school also avoids the common "6th grade slump" in English Language Arts, with 5th-grade proficiency (68%) actually higher than 4th-grade (69%) and 3rd-grade (61%) scores. Math proficiency is consistently strong across all grades, ranging from 65% to 73%, unlike nearby Swimming Pen Creek Elementary, which saw a sharp drop to 45% in 5th-grade math. Additionally, Spring Park has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (20.6%) compared to the district (26.7%) and state (31.4%), and far better than the nearby Charles E. Bennett Elementary (41.5%).

Spring Park stands out as a cost-effective choice, with per-student spending of $10,333—the lowest among comparable schools like Doctors Inlet Elementary ($11,051) and Swimming Pen Creek ($13,418)—while still achieving strong academic results. The school has shown dramatic improvement in 5th-grade science, jumping from 39% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 78% in 2025-2026, a 100% increase over two years. While top-rated schools like Robert M. Paterson Elementary and Fleming Island Elementary earn 5-star ratings, Spring Park offers a compelling value proposition: consistent performance across all subjects and grades, lower absenteeism, and efficient spending, making it a hidden gem for families seeking a well-rounded, high-performing school without the top-tier price tag.
