Summary

Lone Star Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 318 students within the Duval County School District, where just over half of students receive free or reduced-price lunch.

Lone Star stands out as a consistently stable, average-performing school in a neighborhood where nearby schools show extreme ups and downs. While Waterleaf Elementary has been a steady 4-star school and Woodland Acres Elementary has been a consistent 0-star school, Lone Star has held a reliable 3-star rating for the past decade. Its strongest asset is upper-grade English Language Arts (ELA): 78% of 4th graders and 73% of 5th graders are proficient, far exceeding both the district and state averages. Science performance is also a bright spot, with 61% of 5th graders proficient, matching the state average and beating the district. This is especially notable compared to nearby schools like Parkwood Heights Elementary and Global Leadership Academy Discovery, where science scores lag significantly.

However, a critical challenge is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 39.4%—much higher than the state average of 31.4% and above Waterleaf Elementary's 33.2%. The school achieves solid results despite this, suggesting that addressing attendance could unlock even greater success. Interestingly, Lone Star does this with lower spending per student ($10,567) and a higher student-teacher ratio (17.6:1) than some neighbors, indicating effective instruction and school culture are driving its performance. For families seeking a dependable, middle-of-the-road option in a volatile area, Lone Star offers a reliable choice.
