Whitehouse Elementary School

Q: Is Whitehouse Elementary School a good school?

Whitehouse Elementary School ranks 767 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Whitehouse Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 405 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out from its nearby counterparts, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (62.72%) and consistently strong academic performance on standardized tests.

Whitehouse Elementary consistently outperforms the Duval School District and the state of Florida in test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 85% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Statewide Science, compared to just 49% in the Duval district and 53% statewide. However, the school has also experienced a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.0% in 2019-2020 to 48.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby Hyde Grove Elementary School, Ramona Boulevard Elementary School, and other neighboring schools.

Whitehouse Elementary's racial makeup and socioeconomic status differ from its surrounding schools, with a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (55.31%) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 51.9% to 87.85%. This, combined with the school's strong academic performance, suggests that Whitehouse Elementary may serve a more affluent and less diverse community than its neighbors. However, the school's increasing chronic absenteeism rates and the broader context of the Duval district's low performance warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure continued success for all students.

Our family has been GREATLY disappointed in Whitehouse Elementary. The principal and administrative staff need some definite assistance and guidance on how to deal with children and especially how to deal with ESOL students. 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.
