The school stands out for its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.2% to 96.9% in recent years, significantly higher than the Duval district and state averages.

San Jose Early College At Cecil outperforms the district and state in Biology 1 and US History end-of-course exams, with proficiency rates around 70-80%. Yet, the school underperforms in Algebra 1, Geometry, and 6th-10th grade ELA and Math FAST assessments compared to the district and state. Approximately 45% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, higher than the district average. While the school performs better than the nearby Duval Mycroschool Of Integrated Academics And Technologies on most metrics, it underperforms compared to the higher-ranked magnet schools in the area, such as Edward H. White High School, Frank H. Peterson Academies, and Westside High School.

San Jose Early College At Cecil has a relatively high per-student spending of around $11,000, higher than the nearby schools, and a student-teacher ratio of around 15.5, lower than the nearby schools. This suggests the school is investing resources, but the academic performance is still lagging behind the higher-performing schools in the Duval district. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and develop strategies to improve student outcomes.

2023	124	8.0	15.5	41.9

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
