Summary

Twin Lakes Academy Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 781 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Twin Lakes Academy faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 48.1% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 44%, compared to 51% for the district and 57% for the state. Additionally, the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 46.71% to 50.4% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years.

Interestingly, several nearby charter schools, such as Duval Charter School At Coastal, River City Science Academy Innovation School, and Duval Charter School At Baymeadows, outperform Twin Lakes Academy in academic proficiency and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, Mandarin Oaks Elementary School, a public school within the same district, has significantly higher academic proficiency rates compared to Twin Lakes Academy. Despite the higher per-student spending at Twin Lakes Academy, the school's academic performance lags behind some of the nearby schools, indicating that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's challenges.
