Summary:

Duncan U. Fletcher High School is a public high school located in Neptune Beach, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,067 students. 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.

Duncan U. Fletcher High School has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 95.3% to 97.4% over the past few years, outperforming the district and state averages. The school's students also perform better than the district and state averages on various end-of-course (EOC) and state assessments, particularly in subjects like Biology 1, US History, and English Language Arts. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.0% in 2019-2020 to 48.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools like Duval Charter High School At Baymeadows, Terry Parker High School, and River City Science Academy.

One notable aspect of Duncan U. Fletcher High School is its racial makeup, with a significantly higher percentage of white students (66.38%) compared to the nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. This disparity may suggest potential equity and access issues for underrepresented minority groups. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased from $6,378 in 2019-2020 to $8,466 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, indicating efforts to improve educational resources and support for students. Overall, Duncan U. Fletcher High School appears to be a high-performing school with strong academic outcomes, but it also faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism and racial diversity that merit further exploration and targeted interventions.

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.
