Summary

San Jose Early College At Cecil is a small, unique public school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 208 students in grades 6-12 within the Duval district, offering an early college pathway that sets it apart from larger nearby high schools.

This school shines in several key areas. It boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate, outperforming the district and state averages, and its middle school program is exceptionally strong. For example, 7th graders achieve 69% proficiency in both English Language Arts and Math, far exceeding the district and state averages. The school also excels in Civics, with 81% of students proficient, a rate higher than the state average. However, the school faces significant challenges. High school math performance is a major concern, with Geometry proficiency at just 28%—well below the district average of 57% and far behind high-performing schools like Oakleaf High School (65%). Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a critical issue, affecting 51% of students, the highest rate among all nearby Duval County schools and a sharp increase from the previous year.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($14,478) than any other nearby school—60% higher than the average for Duval County schools—the academic results are mixed. While the investment supports small class sizes and a strong middle school, it hasn't yet translated into top-tier performance in core high school subjects like Algebra 1 and Geometry, where the school lags behind the district. For parents, this school offers a supportive environment with a guaranteed path to graduation and excellent middle school academics, but it also has notable weaknesses in high school math and a serious attendance problem that families should carefully consider.
