Summary:
The 32205 zip code area of Jacksonville, Florida is home to 7 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 1 high school. The schools in this area serve diverse student populations, with varying levels of academic performance and resources. While some schools, like Fishweir Elementary and Ruth N. Upson Elementary, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in Duval County, others, such as Ramona Boulevard Elementary and Hyde Park Elementary, struggle with lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The data reveals significant disparities in school performance, with the top-performing elementary schools boasting proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math that are 50 percentage points higher than their lower-performing counterparts. These performance gaps are likely influenced by factors such as funding, resources, and student demographics, as the schools with the highest per-student spending and lowest rates of free/reduced-price lunch also tend to be the highest-performing. The lone high school in the area, Riverside High School, also has room for improvement, with test scores and graduation rates below district and state averages.
The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation to address the disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the schools in the 32205 zip code area. By learning from the successes of the top-performing schools and implementing strategies to address chronic absenteeism and other challenges, the lower-performing schools in this community can work to provide all students with the opportunity to thrive.
