San Jose Elementary School

Summary:

San Jose Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Jacksonville, Florida, with a student population of 779 and a diverse racial makeup that is predominantly Hispanic, followed by African American, White, and Asian students.

Despite higher per-student spending than the district average, San Jose Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, significantly lower academic performance compared to district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby schools in the Duval school district, several patterns emerge - the nearby schools also struggle with low academic performance and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting systemic challenges in the district. However, Hendricks Avenue Elementary, located just 2 miles away, consistently outperforms San Jose Elementary and the district/state averages, indicating that high-performing schools can exist within the same district.

San Jose Elementary's diverse student population is a strength, but the persistent underperformance compared to the district and state averages suggests the need for a comprehensive approach to address the root causes of these issues. Factors beyond just funding and resources, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and school climate, may play a more significant role in driving student success, as evidenced by the stark contrast between San Jose Elementary and nearby high-performing schools like Hendricks Avenue Elementary.

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.
