Summary

Seaside Charter K-8 School is a public charter school in Atlantic Beach, Florida, serving 492 students from kindergarten to 8th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Duval school district and the state of Florida in standardized test scores, with 92% of students proficient or better in EOC/Algebra 1 compared to 57% for Duval and 60% for Florida. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 48.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages.

Seaside Charter K-8 School serves a more affluent student population, with a very low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 2.14% to 4.27% in recent years. This suggests the school may have access to additional resources or funding sources, as it also has a higher per-student spending compared to the state and district, with a range of $7,354 to $10,315 per student in recent years. While the school's academic performance is strong, nearby schools like Sabal Palm Elementary, Abess Park Elementary, Waterleaf Elementary, and Neptune Beach Elementary have higher statewide rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger, suggesting they may be providing a stronger overall educational experience.

The analysis of Seaside Charter K-8 School and the surrounding schools provides a comprehensive understanding of the school's performance, challenges, and unique characteristics within the broader educational landscape of the Duval district. While the school's academic strengths are evident, the high chronic absenteeism rates and the socioeconomic differences compared to nearby schools raise questions about equity and access to quality education for all students in the area.
