Summary

Pinedale Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 482 students in the Duval district, where about 71% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty community.

Pinedale faces significant challenges, most notably a chronic absenteeism crisis: in the 2023-2024 school year, 63.4% of students were chronically absent, nearly double the district average and more than double the state average. This rate is among the highest in the area, comparable to nearby Biltmore Elementary (64.4%) and Smart Pope Livingston Elementary (76.0%), but starkly contrasts with higher-performing neighbors like Fishweir Elementary (22.0%) and Central Riverside Elementary (33.9%). Academic proficiency remains low across subjects, with only 38% of 5th graders proficient in math compared to 62% statewide. Despite spending $16,372 per student—well above the district average and more than schools like Fishweir ($9,536)—results have not improved, suggesting that deep-rooted issues like attendance and socioeconomic factors are the primary barriers.

There is a glimmer of hope in 5th grade science, where proficiency jumped from 15% in 2022-2023 to 45% in 2025-2026, indicating that targeted interventions can work. Pinedale is part of a cluster of struggling schools in its immediate area, including Annie R. Morgan Elementary, Reynolds Lane Elementary, and Wayman Academy Of The Arts, all facing similar high poverty and absenteeism rates. Addressing the attendance crisis is the most critical step to unlocking the school’s potential and helping students benefit from the resources already in place.
