Summary

Southside Estates Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with 496 students. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Southside Estates Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Southside Estates Elementary's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate is 49%, compared to 52% for the district and 55% for the state.

When comparing Southside Estates Elementary to nearby schools in the Duval School District, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming compared to its peers. For instance, River City Science Elementary Academy and River City Science Academy Southeast, both public charter schools within a few miles of Southside Estates, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The consistent underperformance of Southside Estates Elementary suggests that the school may face systemic challenges that need to be addressed.
