Summary

Fishweir Elementary School is a high-performing public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Jacksonville, Florida. With 487 students, Fishweir consistently ranks as one of the top elementary schools in the state, earning 4 or 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

Fishweir's academic performance stands out, with students significantly outpacing the Duval County and Florida state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 77% of Fishweir's 5th graders were proficient or better in Science, compared to 52% for Duval and 55% for Florida. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.7, compared to higher ratios at nearby schools like Bayview (10.7) and Ramona Boulevard (24.1).

While Fishweir's performance is impressive, the data also highlights disparities in student demographics and academic achievement among the nearby schools. For instance, Fishweir has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (32.03%) compared to schools like Hyde Park (82.41%). This suggests potential equity concerns within the broader Duval County school system that warrant further investigation.
