Neptune Beach Elementary School

Summary:

Neptune Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 782 students in grades PK-5 in Neptune Beach, Florida, which is part of the Duval School District. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic metrics, ranking among the top 20% of Florida elementary schools.

Neptune Beach Elementary's academic performance is particularly impressive, with 65-80% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 46-56% for the Duval district and 53-60% for the state. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 65% is also significantly higher than the Duval (49%) and Florida (53%) averages. This strong academic performance has earned Neptune Beach Elementary a 4 or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing well above average compared to other Florida elementary schools.

While Neptune Beach Elementary outperforms most nearby schools, including Jacksonville Beach Elementary and Atlantic Beach Elementary, it does have a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 29.4%, which is an area of concern. The school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,386 and low student-teacher ratio of 13.2 may contribute to its academic success, but the higher absenteeism rate suggests there is room for improvement in this 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.
