S Bryan Jennings Elementary School

Q: Is S Bryan Jennings Elementary School a good school?

S Bryan Jennings Elementary School ranks 1048 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

S Bryan Jennings Elementary School is a public elementary school in Orange Park, Florida, serving 495 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Clay District, which is ranked 10th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While S Bryan Jennings has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with higher percentages of African American (28.89%) and Hispanic (26.87%) students, it underperforms these schools in several key areas. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 30.9%, compared to Ridgeview Elementary (29.2%) and Oakleaf Village Elementary (21.4%). Additionally, S Bryan Jennings generally lags behind the Clay District and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels, with its 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 40% compared to the district's 54% and the state's 55%.

The school's challenges extend beyond academic performance, as it has a 100% free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. This is significantly higher than nearby schools like Ridgeview Elementary (100%) and Oakleaf Village Elementary (47.05%). Despite the higher per-student spending of $9,753 at S Bryan Jennings, the school's performance suggests that the allocation and utilization of these resources may not be optimized to address the specific needs of the student population.

This is a small neighborhood school. It feels like family there. The teachers get to know the kids and their families. I wouldn’t take my child anywhere else. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
