Seabreeze Elementary School

Summary:

Seabreeze Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, serving 519 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school consistently outperforms the Duval school district and the state of Florida in academic assessments, with significantly higher proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and Math. Seabreeze Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking in the top 20-25% of Florida elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools, Seabreeze Elementary outperforms the majority in academic assessments, with the exception of the highly-ranked Ponte Vedra Palm Valley-Rawlings Elementary and Jacksonville Beach Elementary. Despite spending around $9,000 per student, which is lower than the top-performing schools in the area, Seabreeze Elementary is able to achieve strong academic results. The school's diverse student population, with 18.11% African American and 9.06% Hispanic students, could be a strength, providing a rich learning environment.

While Seabreeze Elementary has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 28.2% in 2022-2023, this rate is still lower than the nearby Duval Charter School At Coastal (13.7%) and higher than the top-performing schools like Jacksonville Beach Elementary (15.5%) and Ponte Vedra Palm Valley-Rawlings Elementary (7.0%). Addressing the factors contributing to chronic absenteeism could help Seabreeze Elementary maintain and potentially improve its strong academic performance.

Open Quote Leadership is poor. Top down, school wide, overall, no one is a leader and takes responsibility for ensuring the best education practices are followed. There is zero continuity among grade levels and teachers. The principal has no clue what is happening in each classroom and does not care to find out, even if it means becoming more involved and observing daily practices. Hardly any communication flows from principal to teacher to parent weekly which leaves teachers and parents confused about what to expect and what is going on. Students do what they are told and spend most of their time bouncing around from resource to resource as funding, scheduling, and timing permits. Parents are never in the classrooms to help or volunteer because it would be too obvious how poorly operations are ran and embarrassing rather than helpful. There is no class mom, yet "snack time" is given daily for children outside of kindergarten. Holidays give the school more reasons to conduct adhoc fundraisers and hold meetings or assemblies and keep students out of the classroom, even during vital testing periods (Nov/Dec). Education is NOT a goal of the leadership. Good luck if you decide to attend. You will not have a clue about what your child is actually learning, what you need to do to support you child, or even know your child's schedule since the school hardly knows their day-to-day routines, aside from food, play and meetings. It's no surprise over half the children can't read or hold a pencil while teachers keep passing them on their two-letter spelling words for children well beyond kindergarten. They won't move on if others are behind. If you have a smart child, don't put them here. They won't cater any learning to your child and they hardly ever do centers. This school is a joke. The only ones who love it here are the ones who are happy with the bare minimum and are just as clueless about the school and curriculum as the principal and staff. The ones who can't stand it are the ones who realize that their child hasn't moved on from topics for over two months or hasn't learned more about a new topic in a few months when, according to the curriculium, they should've been progressing and testing and moving on or doing more activities. Instead, fundraisers, assemblies, a science fair with little or no information (shocker), a library they only visit once a month, maybe, and even then they sometimes don't even get to check out books because... who knows why? That's the only beautiful thing about the school is the media center. They use that for meetings, movies, and testing instead of letting the kids actually browse and enjoy the library for that one, maybe two days of the month. Shame. No consistency at all. Consistently failing their students and my children. Please, tour the school DURING school. Do an all-day tour. See how teachers and other staff are. See if you ever even see the principal. See what announcements actually go out in the afternoon. See what the school's priorities actually are. No one is actually kind or cares about the students. The school nurse is one of the meanest people of all. She accused my child of faking a cough once. How ridiculous. Music's priority is to prepare for months leading up to the December play for lower classes. Art class.. we still have no clue what anyone does in art since zero work has made it home and there is never anything to say about it. P.E. is basically like recess but with P.E. equipment available. Again, nothing learned, guided, no tasks, standards, objectives. Nada. You can only imagine what's happening in the actual classrooms. Best of luck. Sincerely, heart broken for our children. Close Quote

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.
