Summary

Greenfield Elementary School is a public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 570 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Duval district, and it has recently seen its state ranking drop to a 1-star rating, placing it in the 30th percentile statewide. The school serves a moderately high-needs population, with over 52% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and its spending per student ($12,127) is above average for nearby schools, yet academic outcomes are mixed. A key concern is a critically high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.7%, which is nearly 50% higher than the state average and has remained stubbornly elevated for years, suggesting that student engagement is a major challenge.

Greenfield’s most defining academic feature is a stark contrast between math and reading proficiency: 5th-grade math scores (72% proficient) are 33 percentage points higher than 5th-grade ELA scores (39%), the largest gap among comparable elementary schools in the area. This math success is a bright spot, outperforming the district (57%) and state (62%), but it is not replicated in other grades or subjects. In contrast, nearby high-performing schools like River City Science Elementary Academy (96th percentile) and River City Science Academy Innovation School (73rd percentile) achieve strong results with similar or higher poverty rates but lower chronic absenteeism (24-34%) and lower spending per student, showing that demographics don’t have to dictate outcomes.

Greenfield is surrounded by a cluster of low-performing schools like San Jose Elementary School, Love Grove Elementary School, Englewood Elementary School, and Hogan-Spring Glen Elementary School, all sharing high absenteeism and low ELA scores. However, it is also within a few miles of high-performing outliers like Pine Forest Elementary School and the River City Science Academies, suggesting that school-level leadership and specific programs are the primary drivers of success. The school’s consistent success in 5th-grade math provides a valuable internal model for improvement, but its path forward must involve aggressive strategies to improve attendance and a deep analysis of its ELA curriculum.
