While R. V. Daniels Elementary School generally outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, it faces unique challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of African American students (81.69%) compared to surrounding schools, and a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.6% in 2019-2020 to 31.5% in 2022-2023. The school's spending per student has also increased significantly, from $7,459 in 2019-2020 to $18,769 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools, such as John E. Ford K-8 School, George Washington Carver Elementary, and Annie R. Morgan Elementary School.
Despite its academic performance, R. V. Daniels Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined from 637 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,024 out of 2,240 in 2022-2023, suggesting that the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other Florida elementary schools. These challenges, however, are not unique to R. V. Daniels Elementary, as the surrounding schools within the Duval School District face similar issues, indicating a broader, systemic problem that may require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address.
