Summary

Greenland Pines Elementary School is a public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 701 students in grades PK-5 within the Duval County district, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years, placing it in the top quarter of all Florida elementary schools.

This school stands out most for its exceptional math performance. In the most recent school year, 80% of 3rd graders and 84% of 4th graders were proficient in math—roughly 20 percentage points higher than the state average and nearly 25 points higher than the Duval district average. While English Language Arts scores are also strong, math is a clear differentiator. The school also benefits from a strong culture of attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.9% that is dramatically lower than the Duval district average of 44.8%. However, it is worth noting a slight dip in 5th-grade math proficiency (64%), which may be an area for parents to monitor as their child progresses.

When comparing Greenland Pines to nearby options, the picture becomes more nuanced. It is a top-tier school within a lower-performing district, but it faces strong competition. For example, Julington Creek Elementary School, just 3.5 miles away in the highly-ranked St. Johns district, outperforms Greenland Pines in nearly every subject. Additionally, nearby charter schools like River City Science Academy Southeast and River City Science Academy at Mandarin both rank in the top 10% of Florida schools and post even higher test scores. In contrast, San Jose Primary School, just 3.7 miles away, faces significant challenges with a 1-star rating and much lower proficiency rates, highlighting that Greenland Pines' success is not typical for the entire area.

Open Quote I can only speak for first grade, but the bullying problem needs to be addressed! Parents of bullies aren't contacted and teachers need to educate kids to be more tolerant and kinder to others. Little hooligans pick on the quieter, sweeter kids, especially those with special needs. Goodness knows what burden to society the bullies will grow up to be. Very disappointed in teachers and administration for not protecting our kids. Close Quote

Open Quote As a grandparent, I have had the opportunity to observe this school for about 8-9 years - with one grandson now 18 and the other currently a student there. The teachers are extremely dedicated, knowledgeable, and caring. The support staff is probably one of the best I've ever observed. (I'm also a former teacher.) The school has unfailingly provided excellent education at the elementary level. The Mandarin area of Jacksonville is fortunate to have such an excellent academic institution within our district.
