Summary

Don Brewer Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Jacksonville, Florida, with 327 students. 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. Unfortunately, Don Brewer Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools over the past several years, with a ranking between 1,455 and 2,234 out of around 2,200 schools.

Some key challenges facing Don Brewer Elementary include very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 45.6%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's students perform well below district and state averages on standardized tests across all grade levels and subjects, with only 30-51% of students proficient in ELA and Math, compared to 49-63% for the district and 55-63% for the state. A high percentage of Don Brewer students, ranging from 57.49% to 63.89%, also qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the Duval district generally perform better than Don Brewer Elementary on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For example, Lone Star Elementary and Global Outreach Academy Intercoastal have significantly higher proficiency rates and lower chronic absenteeism. Additionally, the two charter schools in the area, Global Outreach Academy Intercoastal and Seacoast Charter Academy, outperform the traditional public schools on most measures, suggesting that school choice may be beneficial for students in this region.
