Summary

Cedar Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 404 students in grades K-5 in Jacksonville, Florida, which is part of the Duval School District. The school consistently underperforms compared to district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 26% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA compared to 51% in Duval and 57% statewide. Cedar Hills also faces significant challenges with student engagement, as evidenced by its extremely high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 57.7% over the past few years.

The school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 67.33% to 76.47% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely plays a role in the school's academic performance and other challenges. Additionally, Cedar Hills spends between $9,154 and $10,471 per student, which is lower than the spending at some nearby schools like Bayview Elementary ($17,961 per student).

While Cedar Hills struggles, some nearby schools like Hidden Oaks Elementary and Bayview Elementary perform better on academic measures, suggesting there may be opportunities to learn from their practices and strategies. Addressing the challenges at Cedar Hills Elementary will likely require a multi-faceted approach involving increased resources, targeted interventions, and collaboration with the broader community.
