Kings Trail Elementary School

Summary:

Kings Trail Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 311 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kings Trail Elementary School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 56.8%, much higher than the surrounding schools like Pine Forest Elementary (28.8%) and the Duval district average of 40.8%. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the district and state averages in standardized test scores, with only 24-39% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 46-60% at the district and state levels. The school also has a high percentage of students (57.23%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, higher than nearby schools like Pine Forest Elementary (43.66%) and Seaside Community Charter School (0.62%).

Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $10,376, which is more than some nearby schools, Kings Trail Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking between 1,479 and 2,165 out of over 2,200 schools. This low ranking, coupled with the 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education compared to other schools in the state. While some nearby schools perform better, others face similar challenges, indicating that the issues facing Kings Trail Elementary may be more systemic within the Duval School District.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
