San Mateo Elementary School

Q: Is San Mateo Elementary School a good school?

San Mateo Elementary School ranks 782 nd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

San Mateo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 534 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state.

San Mateo Elementary consistently outperforms the Duval District and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with higher proficiency rates in Statewide Science/Science for 5th grade, FAST/English Language Arts for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and FAST/Math for 5th grade. While the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 35.2% in 2022-2023, this rate is still lower than some nearby schools like Garden City Elementary (53.5%) and Highlands Elementary (58.6%). Additionally, San Mateo has a relatively lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (48.13%) compared to nearby schools.

San Mateo Elementary School's diverse student population, with a relatively even distribution of White, African American, and Hispanic students, is not as evident in some of the nearby schools. This diversity, combined with the school's consistently strong academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggests San Mateo may be providing a more supportive learning environment for its students compared to other schools in the area.

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.
