Summary

Ramona Boulevard Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 292 students within the Duval County School District, where a high percentage of families (76%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic challenges in the area.

This school stands out for its remarkable upward trend. After years of ranking in the bottom 5% of Florida elementary schools, Ramona Boulevard has climbed from the 11th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating for the first time in years. This improvement is especially notable when compared to nearby schools with similar poverty levels, such as Pinedale Elementary (9th percentile) and Reynolds Lane Elementary (6th percentile). The school's 5th-grade science scores are a standout achievement, with 67% of students proficient—surpassing both the district (56%) and state (60%) averages. Math is also a growing strength, with 3rd and 5th-grade proficiency (64% each) nearly matching state averages, a dramatic improvement from just two years prior.

The biggest challenge facing Ramona Boulevard is chronic absenteeism, with 71.2% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—more than double the district rate and triple the state rate. This is the highest rate among comparable nearby schools, even those with similar poverty levels like Wayman Academy of the Arts (76.9%). The school's success in math and science, despite these attendance issues, suggests effective instructional strategies and leadership are driving the turnaround. Reducing absenteeism remains the most impactful lever for continued academic gains, positioning Ramona Boulevard as a potential model for improvement within a challenging cluster of Jacksonville schools.
