Best Public Schools in Zip Code 32220

Summary:

The 32220 zip code area of Jacksonville, Florida is home to two elementary schools - Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Whitehouse Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Duval school district.

Based on the available data, Whitehouse Elementary appears to be the stronger performer of the two schools. It has a higher statewide ranking with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, compared to a 1-star rating for Thomas Jefferson Elementary. Whitehouse also outperforms Thomas Jefferson in several key subject areas, including 5th grade science, 3rd-5th grade math, and 5th grade English language arts. In the 2024-2025 school year, 72% of Whitehouse's 5th graders were proficient or better in science, compared to 64% at Thomas Jefferson. Whitehouse also had higher math proficiency rates across 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades.

Both schools face some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates of over 31% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than district and state averages. Additionally, the Duval school district as a whole appears to be underperforming compared to the state, with both Thomas Jefferson and Whitehouse scoring below Florida's averages in many subject areas. This suggests the district may need to examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to better support its schools and improve overall academic outcomes for students.
