Chaffee Trail Elementary

Q: Is Chaffee Trail Elementary a good school?

Chaffee Trail Elementary ranks 1527 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Chaffee Trail Elementary is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 765 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson Elementary and Whitehouse Elementary.

While Chaffee Trail Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 42% in the 2022-2023 school year, the school has also shown some academic strengths. Its 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 59% was higher than the Duval district and state averages. However, the school's English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades were generally lower than the district and state averages.

Chaffee Trail Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 704th out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 1,527th out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. This drop in ranking, coupled with the school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggests that the school is facing challenges in keeping pace with other elementary schools in the state. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch at Chaffee Trail Elementary may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
