For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Whitehouse's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 72%, compared to 52% for Duval and 55% for Florida. The school also had higher math and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Whitehouse Elementary generally outperforms in test scores, particularly in science and math, but its ELA proficiency rates are more on par with the district and state averages. Schools like Hyde Grove Elementary, Ramona Boulevard Elementary, and Jacksonville Heights Elementary have lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates. However, Thomas Jefferson Elementary, a magnet school located nearby, has higher test scores in several subject areas and grade levels, suggesting that school choice and specialized programs may contribute to improved academic performance.
