Summary

Seacoast Charter Academy is a K-5 elementary charter school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 444 students within the Duval school district, where about 47.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Seacoast’s biggest advantage is its very low student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1, the best among nearby schools like Holiday Hill Elementary School (13.1:1) and Parkwood Heights Elementary School (23:1). However, this small class size hasn’t translated into strong academic results. The school’s state ranking has dropped to a 1-star rating (27th percentile), its lowest point in recent years. A key concern is a “fade-out” effect: while 3rd graders perform at or above the district average in math and reading, by 5th grade, scores fall significantly behind. For example, 5th grade math proficiency dropped to 47%, compared to the district average of 57%. This decline is steeper than at nearby Lone Star Elementary School, a 3-star school with a similar poverty rate (51.6%) but much higher class sizes and far better 4th and 5th grade reading scores.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has been improving, dropping from 39.8% to 32.6%, which is better than the district average (44.8%) and much lower than schools like Woodland Acres Elementary School (63.5%). Still, Seacoast’s challenges appear to be internal, not just due to poverty or district issues. The school is not capitalizing on its small class sizes, and the academic slide in upper grades is a red flag. For parents, this means Seacoast offers a more intimate learning environment, but the school needs to improve instruction and curriculum in grades 4 and 5 to help students keep pace with peers at higher-performing, demographically similar schools like Lone Star.

Open Quote This is by far the worse school that I have ever seen, the administration does not want to handle any problems, they just want to keep passing the buck, now I know why so many accredited teachers and students have left this school. No problems are ever solved, they are looked over, ignored and swept under the carpet. The teachers are very unprofessional, dress like they just rolled out of bed and drove to school, they do not even know the curriculum themselves, how are they to teach students? They don’t and can’t. If you have problems with any of the work that your child is given, do not ask any of the teachers or staff, for they do not know the answers, rely solely on the answer keys, because they cannot think for themselves or they “lose” your child’s work, say it was never turned in or was turned in late and your child is the one that has to pay for it in the end. They have parents that have hung out at the school so much that they finally just put them on the payroll as teachers and they are allowed to substitute teach, give tests and grade your children, this is the most unprofessional, unorganized, unethical school I have ever seen, I would never send my child back there, if it were the last school standing or I was ordered under marshal law to send my child there, I would run for the hills and hide, go off the grid and teach my child myself.

Open Quote Seacoast is a small school with a family environment. I have two children who attend. I have been very pleased with the level of teacher communication, the sense of community and the high behavior expectations. Close Quote

Open Quote My child started school at Seacoast in 2015. If you want your child to have an outstanding education this is the school for you. I am amazed at the difference in this school and other public schools in the area. It is definitely a gem in Arlington. Close Quote

Open Quote I really don't care for this school. I have written very few reviews in my life, but feel that if I help just one parent/one child, then it is worth it. Seacoast Charter Academy is far from the standard of "excellence" they tout. I have gotten to the point where we are just counting down the days until the end of the school year. I've lost all respect for this school and their staff. I loathe just seeing the staff's unfriendly, miserable faces every day when I pick up my child. It amazes me that it is even possible to have this many temperamental, dishonest, untrustworthy people in the same business (and in charge of children nonetheless). I thought I was just misunderstanding the way the school works in years past, that is until I met the principal. Now I know where the incompetence stems from - the top down. Year after year my child kept begging me not to send him there, but couldn't really give me a reason why. Now I understand and I feel awful for having kept him here. There are a dozen schools in Jacksonville that are better than Seacoast Charter. Save yourself the headache and keep looking. Close Quote
