A. Philip Randolph Academies has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (73.26%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 2.22% to 92.52% African American. The school's 4-year graduation rate has declined from 92.4% in 2020-2021 to 84.8% in 2022-2023, lower than the nearby Paxon School/Advanced Studies (99.3%) and Darnell Cookman Middle/High School (100%).

The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in various state assessments, is significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 16% of 10th-grade students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 46% in the Duval district and 53% statewide. These challenges suggest that addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable access to quality education should be priorities for the school.

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.
