Windy Hill Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a statewide ranking between 1686 and 2036 over the past 10 years, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Windy Hill Elementary faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic performance, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. The school's chronic absenteeism rate was 53.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, much higher than the Duval district average of 41.3% and the Florida state average of 31.4%. Academically, Windy Hill Elementary consistently underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates as low as 31% in 3rd grade ELA, 34% in 4th grade ELA, and 35% in 5th grade ELA, compared to the Duval district averages of 51%, 49%, and 49%, respectively.

Despite the higher spending per student at Windy Hill Elementary ($10,114 in 2023-2024) compared to the district average, the school's academic performance remains significantly below the district and state averages. When comparing Windy Hill Elementary to nearby schools, such as Brookview Elementary and Holiday Hill Elementary, both located within 3 miles, Windy Hill consistently underperforms on academic measures. Addressing the root causes of the school's challenges, such as improving attendance and providing targeted academic interventions, may be necessary to drive meaningful improvements in student achievement.

This is an amazing school with leaders and teachers who truly care about children and their education. Mr. Reddick, the principal, has made some significant positive changes which has led to the school becoming a Leader in Me school designated by Franklin Covey. The magnet program is based on the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Students are learning to be leaders as early as Pre-K. The school has increased from a school grade of "F" to s "C" since Mr. Reddick was assigned there in January of 2013. I strongly recommend the school if you are looking for a very diverse population with a focus of teaching and learning every day. The assistant principal, Mrs. Harris, is also amazing. She loves the children and it shows! Don't take my word, just go visit for yourself! Close Quote
