Jacksonville Classical Academy East

Summary:

Jacksonville Classical Academy East is a public charter school serving 261 students in grades K-12 in Jacksonville, Florida. The school is part of the Duval District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Jacksonville Classical Academy East has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (49.43%) compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges. The school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.0%, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. Academically, the school's proficiency rates across all grade levels and subjects are lower than the Duval District and Florida state averages. For example, in 3rd grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate is 33% compared to the district's 49% and the state's 55%. In 5th grade Science, the school's proficiency rate is only 5% compared to the district's 49% and the state's 53%.

Interestingly, the nearby Duval Virtual Instruction Academy and Florida Cyber Charter Academy generally have higher academic performance and graduation rates compared to Jacksonville Classical Academy East, despite their higher chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,909 suggests that funding alone may not be the sole factor in student achievement, and the school may need to explore additional strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
