Summary

Duval Charter School At Westside is a K-8 charter school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 938 students in the Duval district, an area where many nearby schools also face significant challenges. The school has a 0-star rating and ranks in the 4th percentile statewide, with its most pressing issue being an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 52.9%—nearly double the state average of 31.4% and higher than most comparable schools in the area, such as Gregory Drive Elementary School (58.0%) and Westview K-8 (58.0%).

Academically, the school shows a stark split between its elementary and middle school grades. In elementary, proficiency rates are critically low: only 28% of 3rd graders are proficient in ELA, 23% of 5th graders in math, and 17% in science—far below district and state averages. However, middle school performance is notably stronger, with 7th grade math proficiency reaching 60% (beating the district average of 44%) and exceptional End-of-Course exam results, including 93% proficiency in Biology 1. This pattern is similar to KIPP Impact Academy, another nearby charter school with a 4th percentile ranking, which also shows weak elementary scores but strong middle school EOC results, suggesting systemic challenges in the community rather than issues unique to one school.

In contrast, just 3.5 miles away, Chimney Lakes Elementary School (a traditional public school) ranks in the 58th percentile with much higher proficiency rates, such as 70% in 3rd grade ELA and 78% in 4th grade math. The school has also seen a dramatic demographic shift, with the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch dropping from 76.62% to 51.28% in just one year, alongside a decrease in per-student spending to $9,503. While the school’s success in advanced middle school courses is a bright spot, the combination of extreme absenteeism and low elementary performance suggests that many younger students are being left behind.

DCSW has been a Blessing for my children. They receive one on one tutoring as needed. The curriculum is challenging without being overwhelming. All the teachers are professional but caring. The principal is amazing. She makes sure the school is well run and truly cares about the children. Close Quote
