Summary

S. A. Hull Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Jacksonville, Florida, with 168 students and 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.

S. A. Hull Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well below average. The school struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 60.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, S. A. Hull students perform well below their peers across the district and state in English Language Arts and Math, with only 38-58% of students proficient in these subjects compared to 49-63% for the district and 55-63% for the state. Additionally, 74-79% of S. A. Hull students receive free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the surrounding schools, indicating a high-poverty student population.

Interestingly, nearby magnet schools like R.V. Daniels Elementary, Rufus E. Payne Elementary, and Dinsmore Elementary have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to S. A. Hull, despite serving similar high-poverty student populations. While S. A. Hull's spending per student is higher than the state average, its outcomes lag behind, indicating the school may not be using its resources effectively. The school's performance has been consistently poor over the past 8 years, with little improvement in its state ranking or SchoolDigger rating, suggesting deeper systemic issues that need to be addressed.
