San Jose Primary School

Summary:

San Jose Primary School is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-5 in Jacksonville, Florida, within the Duval District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Despite its location, San Jose Primary School has struggled in recent years, dropping from a 2-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 0-star rating in the current 2023-2024 school year. This decline is reflected in the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 57.5%, which is significantly higher than the district averages at nearby higher-performing schools like Loretto Elementary (20.1%) and Mandarin Oaks Elementary (32.0%). Additionally, San Jose Primary School's test scores are consistently well below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with only 5% of 5th graders proficient or better in Math, compared to the district average of 49% and the state average of 56%.

Further contributing to the school's struggles is its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, reaching 50.53% in the current school year, which is higher than the nearby higher-performing schools. Additionally, San Jose Primary School has seen a decline in spending per student, from $12,445 in 2020-2021 to $8,018 in the current school year, lower than the nearby higher-performing schools. These factors, combined with the school's significant changes in racial demographics, suggest that San Jose Primary School may be facing significant challenges in terms of student engagement, academic support, and resource allocation, which are likely contributing to its declining performance over the years.

For students that learn not as fast they will not help them like is sopossed too. I don't recommend this school. And they are new staff working in this school that they are rude in how communicate things to a parent. And if your child don't speak English and you ask for help they will just tell you they are not a bilingual school and to put your child in another school. That's rude. 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.
