Summary

Westview K-8 is a public magnet school located in Jacksonville, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,242 students. The school is part of the Duval school district, which is ranked 54 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westview K-8 has consistently struggled with low performance, ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Florida elementary schools for the past several years. The school's statewide ranking has ranged from 1,317 out of 2,064 schools in 2013-2014 to 2,050 out of 2,182 schools in 2018-2019, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. Westview K-8 has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 58.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's students perform significantly below the district and state averages across most subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower than the comparison groups.

Despite spending more per student ($12,585 in 2023-2024) compared to the district and state averages, Westview K-8 has not been able to translate this additional funding into improved academic outcomes for its students. When compared to the nearby schools in the Duval district, such as Crystal Springs Elementary School, Enterprise Learning Academy, and Oak Hill Academy, Westview K-8 generally performs worse across a range of metrics, including test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free and reduced lunch rates.
