Spring Park Elementary School

Summary:

Spring Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 464 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Spring Park Elementary has a diverse student population, with 38.36% Hispanic, 27.59% African American, 14.44% White, and 13.36% Asian students. However, the school faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 25.5% to 45.8% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Spring Park's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the Duval district and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, only 35% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 49% in the district and 55% statewide. Additionally, 69.4% of Spring Park's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Spring Park's performance is generally lower than nearby schools, there are some exceptions. For instance, R.L. Brown Gifted and Talented Academy, which is 2.79 miles away, outperforms Spring Park and the district/state averages in several subject areas, despite having a similar demographic profile. The high chronic absenteeism rates and low academic performance at Spring Park suggest that the school and district need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

Open Quote School is getting better. More activities and fun while learning with the new principal Mrs. Parker. School is safe. Librarian could let the students touch the books more and keep library door open to encourage reading. VP is great. 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.
