Summary:
The 13 elementary schools in Jacksonville's 32210 zip code, serving grades PK-5 (with some K-8 options) under the Duval school district, present a deeply divided educational landscape where one exceptional school dramatically outperforms a majority of struggling peers.
John Stockton Elementary School stands as a clear outlier, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating, 97% 5th-grade science proficiency, and a remarkably low 12.9% chronic absenteeism rate. In stark contrast, nine of the 11 schools with recent ranking data fall in the bottom 25% of Florida schools. Duval Charter School At Westside and KIPP Impact Academy both rank in the 4th percentile (0 stars), with KIPP showing just 9% science proficiency despite spending $12,443 per student. Westview K-8 (7th percentile) and Bayview Elementary School (dropping from 52nd to 17th percentile) highlight a troubling downward trend. Venetia Elementary School provides a middle ground with a 3-star rating and 87% 3rd-grade math proficiency, but remains the only other school above the bottom quartile.
The most critical issue is chronic absenteeism, averaging 50.2% across the area—far exceeding the state average of 31.4%. Only John Stockton (12.9%) and Venetia (38.7%) fall below the district average of 44.8%. Oak Hill Academy remains an anomaly with the highest per-student spending ($28,895) and lowest student-to-teacher ratio (7.3:1) but no ranking data available. Schools like Normandy Village Elementary School and Hidden Oaks Elementary School show consistent declines, suggesting systemic challenges that are worsening over time.
