Nassau

The Nassau school district in Florida consists of 18 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, 4 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. The district is highly ranked, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and many individual schools perform well compared to state averages.

Among the standout schools in the district are Bryceville Elementary School, a small school that consistently ranks in the top 5% of Florida elementary schools, and Yulee Middle School, which has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past 3 years. Hilliard Middle-Senior High also performs well, ranking in the top 25% of Florida high schools.

While the district as a whole is strong, there is significant variation in performance and other metrics between individual schools. Graduation rates are generally high, but chronic absenteeism is a concern, especially at the alternative and high school levels. The data also suggests a relationship between demographics and academic outcomes, with schools serving higher percentages of minority and economically disadvantaged students tending to have lower test scores and other performance metrics. Addressing these achievement gaps should be a priority for the Nassau school district.
