Duval Charter At Baymeadows is an elementary and middle school (grades K-8) located in Jacksonville, Florida, with 1,335 students enrolled.

Duval Charter At Baymeadows has a strong academic track record, with 88% of its students proficient or better in Algebra 1 in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 57% for the Duval district and 60% for Florida. The school also generally outperforms nearby charter schools, such as Duval Charter School At Mandarin and Duval Charter School At Southside, in terms of test scores and school rankings.

The increasing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Duval Charter At Baymeadows, from 34.6% in 2021-2022 to 50.71% in 2023-2024, suggests that the school is serving a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.
