Summary

Long Branch Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 312 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Long Branch Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 67.1% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school underperforms compared to the district and state, with only 29% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and Math in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 51% and 59% in the district, respectively. However, the school performs better in Science, with 70% of 5th graders proficient, compared to 52% in the district.

When comparing Long Branch Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, such as Fort Caroline Elementary, Arlington Elementary, and Lake Lucina Elementary, it becomes clear that Long Branch is underperforming academically. The high chronic absenteeism rates at Long Branch appear to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, and the school may need to re-evaluate how resources are being allocated to improve student outcomes.
