Southside Estates Elementary School

Summary:

Southside Estates Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 486 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.

Southside Estates Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school has relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Interestingly, the school has seen a gradual shift in its racial demographics, with a decrease in White students and an increase in Hispanic students. When compared to nearby schools, such as River City Science Elementary Academy, Southside Estates Elementary consistently underperforms on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 985 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,711 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, places it in the bottom 25% of elementary schools in the state. To address these challenges, the school may need to focus on strategies to improve student attendance, implement evidence-based instructional practices, and explore partnerships with community organizations to provide additional resources and support for students and families.

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.
