Summary:
The city of Neptune Beach, Florida is home to two schools: Duncan U. Fletcher High School and Neptune Beach Elementary School. While both schools serve the Neptune Beach community, the data reveals that Neptune Beach Elementary is a standout performer, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the Duval district and the state of Florida.
Neptune Beach Elementary boasts impressive academic achievements, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests in English Language Arts and Math. In contrast, Duncan U. Fletcher High School, while still performing reasonably well, does not stand out as strongly, with a lower SchoolDigger rating and more mixed academic results. The higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Neptune Beach Elementary may contribute to its academic success, but further analysis would be needed to determine the exact relationship.
The data also reveals some areas of concern, such as the higher chronic absenteeism rate at Duncan U. Fletcher High School, which could be an opportunity for improvement. Additionally, the relatively similar racial demographics of both schools suggest the need to examine the educational experiences and outcomes for students of color in the district to ensure equity.
