Summary

Mandarin High School is a public magnet high school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,398 students. The school is part of the Duval County Public School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mandarin High School consistently outperforms the Duval County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, including End-of-Course (EOC) exams and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Mandarin High School had 68% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 57% for Duval County and 60% for the state. The school also maintains high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.2% to 97.1% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Mandarin High School has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state, ranging from 30.9% to 44.8% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Mandarin High School significantly outperforms Englewood High School and Gateway Community Services in academic metrics, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. However, it lags behind the highly-ranked Samuel W. Wolfson High School and Duval Charter High School at Baymeadows in some areas. The relatively lower free and reduced-price lunch rates at Mandarin High School compared to the Duval County district average may suggest potential equity issues, and the higher per-student spending at the school compared to the district average may contribute to its strong performance but also raises questions about the equitable distribution of funding across the district.
