Hendricks Avenue Elementary School

Q: Is Hendricks Avenue Elementary School a good school?

Hendricks Avenue Elementary School ranks 241 st of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hendricks Avenue Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 614 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state.

Hendricks Avenue Elementary consistently outperforms the Duval District and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The school also has a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby schools like West Riverside Elementary and Love Grove Elementary. Additionally, Hendricks Avenue has a lower chronic absenteeism rate, at 16.3%, compared to the nearby schools, which range from 29.5% to 53.0%.

While Hendricks Avenue's academic performance is impressive, the school serves a more affluent student population, with only 23.94% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to 43.66% to 69.4% at the nearby schools. This suggests that the school's strong academic outcomes may be influenced by the socioeconomic status of its students. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has increased in recent years, and the racial diversity of the student body has shifted, with a decrease in the percentage of African American and Hispanic students. Hendricks Avenue should continue to monitor and address these issues to ensure that all students have access to a high-quality education.

I was a student there, as were my children. Other than it being turned into a magnet school, I learned more there than I did in high school, and I exagerate not! The same is true for my children.

My two sisters also attended Hendricks, and were way above the curve in college and high school. 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.
