Biltmore Elementary School

Summary:

Biltmore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 191 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. Biltmore Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools over the past several years.

Biltmore Elementary stands out for several key factors. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (78.53%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 48.5% to 96.14% African American. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 49.2% to 60.0% over the past 5 years, much higher than the 31.5% to 66.7% range of surrounding schools. Academically, Biltmore Elementary consistently underperforms, with only 20-33% of students proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 46-60% at the district and state levels. Despite having the highest per-student spending, ranging from $14,031 to $20,569, the additional funding has not translated into improved outcomes.

While Biltmore Elementary faces significant challenges, the nearby schools also struggle with low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and high poverty rates. This suggests that the issues at Biltmore are not unique but rather reflective of broader systemic challenges within the Duval School District. Addressing these complex problems will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that goes beyond simply increasing funding and focuses on addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
