Summary

Cedar Hills Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 398 students as part of the Duval County school district, and it serves a predominantly low-income community with over 63% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most striking findings about Cedar Hills is its exceptional performance in 5th grade, which stands out dramatically compared to nearby schools. In 5th Grade Science, 64% of students were proficient, outperforming the district (56%) and state (60%) averages, and matching only Bayview Elementary among nearby schools. Even more impressive, 5th Grade Math proficiency has soared from 41% to 66% over three years, now the highest among all nearby schools and well above the state average. This "5th Grade Effect" is unique to Cedar Hills—nearby schools like Jacksonville Heights Elementary and Gregory Drive Elementary see their 5th graders struggle, while Cedar Hills’ 5th graders excel in multiple subjects. However, this success is not consistent across grade levels: 3rd and 4th graders perform poorly, with only 25% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts, suggesting a concentration of strong teaching or targeted interventions in 5th grade.

The school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has remained stubbornly above 49% for five years and hit 57.7% in 2023-2024. This rate is nearly double the state average (31.4%) and higher than most nearby schools, though slightly lower than Timucuan Elementary (65.6%) and Sadie T. Tillis Elementary (60.8%). Interestingly, spending per student ($10,200) is in the middle of the pack and not correlated with performance—Bayview Elementary spends much more ($15,372) but has a lower overall ranking. This suggests that Cedar Hills’ core issues are tied to attendance and family engagement rather than funding. The school’s bright spot in 5th grade shows that when students are present and engaged, they can achieve at high levels, offering a clear path forward for improvement.
