Summary

Biscayne Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 804 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.

Biscayne Elementary has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 44.8%, test scores that are generally below district and state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.32% to 64.49%. Compared to nearby schools like Louis S. Sheffield Elementary, Oceanway Elementary, and San Mateo Elementary, Biscayne Elementary's performance is generally lower, with higher chronic absenteeism rates and lower test scores.

The high poverty rates and declining performance at Biscayne Elementary suggest that the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student engagement. While the reasons for these challenges are complex, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates and low test scores may be influenced by factors such as socioeconomic status, resource availability, and teacher quality. Addressing these issues will require targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes at Biscayne Elementary.
