Blind Pk-8 School (Fsdb)

Public Grades PK, KG-8

Summary

Blind Pk-8 School (Fsdb) is a small public elementary and middle school in St. Augustine, Florida, serving grades PK-8 and part of the Deaf/Blind district, which is ranked 67th out of 67 districts in the state. Despite its small size of 72 students, the school stands out from the nearby high-performing schools in several key ways.

Blind Pk-8 School (Fsdb) has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to the surrounding schools. However, the school lags behind in academic performance, with significantly lower test scores than the state and district averages. For example, only 12% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 44% statewide. The school also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 46.1%, much higher than the other schools in the area, such as Otis A. Mason Elementary School and R.B. Hunt Elementary School.

Despite the high per-student spending of $41,158 and a very low student-teacher ratio of 4.2 students per teacher, Blind Pk-8 School (Fsdb) is not achieving the same level of academic success as the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may not be effectively utilizing its resources or that there are other factors contributing to the poor performance. Addressing the underlying causes of the high chronic absenteeism and implementing strategies to support student success should be a top priority for the school and the St. Johns district.
