Summary

Spring Park Elementary School in Jacksonville, FL, serves 489 students in grades PK-5 within the Duval County Public School District, and is located in a predominantly low-income community where over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Academically, Spring Park has historically performed in the bottom tier of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math that often fall 10-20 percentage points below district and state averages. However, there is a notable bright spot in 5th Grade Science, where the school recently outperformed the district average with 54% proficiency. The school also spends a significant amount per student—$11,528—which is higher than several higher-performing nearby schools, such as Pine Forest Elementary School ($10,975) and Hendricks Avenue Elementary School ($9,625), suggesting that challenges are not solely due to a lack of funding.

Chronic absenteeism is a critical issue, with 41.6% of students chronically absent in the 2023-2024 school year—far worse than the state average of 31.4% and dramatically higher than high-performing neighbors like Hendricks Avenue (17.8%) and Pine Forest (24.9%). While Spring Park has shown a slight upward trend in state ranking over the last five years, moving from the 8th percentile to the 13th percentile, it remains firmly in the bottom tier. The most impactful step the school could take to improve student outcomes is addressing the root cause of chronic absenteeism, as students cannot learn if they are not in class.

Open Quote School is getting better. More activities and fun while learning with the new principal Mrs. Parker. School is safe. Librarian could let the students touch the books more and keep library door open to encourage reading. VP is great. Close Quote
