Pinedale Elementary School

Summary:

Pinedale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 426 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 and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Pinedale Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2198 out of 2256 schools.

Pinedale Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 71.6% African American, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 35.4% to 60.5% over the past 5 years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Pinedale's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Pinedale's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 25%, compared to 49% for the district and 53% for the state. Additionally, 79.34% of Pinedale's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

When comparing Pinedale Elementary to nearby schools, some interesting patterns emerge. The public charter schools KIPP V.O.I.C.E Academy and Wayman Academy of the Arts have similar demographic profiles to Pinedale but perform slightly better academically. Meanwhile, the traditional public schools Central Riverside Elementary and Ruth N. Upson Elementary have more diverse student populations and significantly higher academic performance than Pinedale. Despite Pinedale's relatively high per-student spending of $15,815 in 2022-2023, this does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and targeted interventions, may be more critical in driving student success.

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.
