Summary

Callahan Intermediate School in Callahan, FL, serves 586 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the top-ranked Nassau County school district, which is ranked 3rd out of 70 districts in Florida. This school has a strong track record, consistently earning 4 or 5 stars over the past decade and currently ranking in the 83rd percentile of Florida elementary schools, placing it in the "above average" category. The school serves a community where about 43% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating moderate economic diversity.

The most impressive feature of Callahan Intermediate is its exceptional performance in 5th grade math, where 93% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year. This is 31 points higher than the state average and a staggering 59 points higher than the average of six nearby schools in Duval County, such as Pickett Elementary School and Garden City Elementary School. This math strength has been consistent for three consecutive years. While the school occasionally dips below the district average in specific subjects, like 4th grade English Language Arts, it consistently outperforms the district in most tested areas, including 3rd and 5th grade math and science. The contrast with Duval County schools is stark, highlighting the significant impact of the high-performing Nassau County district.

One area to watch is chronic absenteeism, which has nearly doubled from 15.3% in 2019-2020 to 25.8% in 2023-2024, though this rate is still better than both the district and state averages. Another pattern is a dip in English Language Arts proficiency between 3rd and 4th grade, with 3rd graders scoring 79% proficient compared to 60% for 4th graders in the most recent year. Despite having the lowest per-student spending ($10,249) and highest student-teacher ratio (16.2) among its Nassau County peers like Bryceville Elementary School, Callahan Intermediate delivers competitive academic outcomes, suggesting efficient resource use or strong community support. Overall, this school has been a reliably strong performer for a decade, making it a pillar of the community.

Teachers are great! Only if the new principal was also. I have been actively involved in the school for the last three years, the lack of knowledge and caring from Dr. Cason is negatively effecting the teachers and students. Teachers are publicly letting it known how bad it is and how they are actively seeking employment elsewhere. I witness it first hand. This will not continue to be a A rated school. The biggest issue I have heard from friends who teach is she wants grades to reflect different from the actual earned grade, so students pass and the school is scored better. Close Quote
