Summary

River City Science Academy Intracoastal is a K-8 charter school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 814 students within the Duval district, and has earned a strong 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school truly stands out for its exceptional math performance, especially in advanced courses. Students achieve a perfect 100% proficiency on high school-level Algebra 1 and Geometry End-of-Course exams, far exceeding district and state averages. In 7th-grade math, proficiency is 88%, nearly double the district average of 44%. This is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Duval Charter School At Coastal, which has much lower math scores. However, the school has a notable paradox: a high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.3% in 2023-2024, which is higher than top-performing coastal schools like Atlantic Beach Elementary School (18.4%). Despite this, the school’s academic results remain top-tier, suggesting effective instruction and curriculum. The school also operates efficiently, spending $8,819 per student, significantly less than nearby Neptune Beach Elementary School ($14,460) and Waterleaf Elementary ($14,440).

While the school’s English Language Arts scores are consistently above district and state averages, there is some volatility in 8th-grade ELA, which dropped to 60% in 2023-2024 before recovering to 82% in 2025-2026. Overall, River City Science Academy Intracoastal is a high-performing, improving school that offers a unique K-8 structure and strong math acceleration, though parents should be aware of the high absenteeism rate. It is a strong option in the area, but families seeking the absolute highest performance may also consider nearby 5-star schools like San Pablo Elementary School (97th percentile) and Atlantic Beach Elementary School (93rd percentile), which have lower poverty rates and lower chronic absenteeism.
