Mayport Elementary School

Q: Is Mayport Elementary School a good school?

Mayport Elementary School ranks 895 th of 2258 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Mayport Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Atlantic Beach, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 378 students. Despite facing challenges with high chronic absenteeism and lower socioeconomic status, the school consistently outperforms the Duval County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, including FAST/English Language Arts, FAST/Math, and Statewide Science/Science.

Mayport Elementary's performance on these assessments is generally higher than nearby schools, such as Waterleaf Elementary, Alimacani Elementary, and Sabal Palm Elementary. This suggests that Mayport may be providing a stronger academic program despite its challenges. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 485 out of 2,118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,105 out of 2,240 in 2022-2023, indicating some inconsistency in its performance.

Mayport Elementary is located just 0.61 miles away from Seaside Charter K-8 School, a public charter school serving grades K-8. The proximity of these two schools may create competition for students and resources, which could impact the performance and enrollment of Mayport Elementary. Overall, Mayport stands out as a strong academic performer, but it faces challenges that may require the school to address attendance and resource allocation issues to maintain its excellence and competitiveness.

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.
