Summary:
The 32211 zip code area of Jacksonville, Florida is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Duval County Public School District. While the district as a whole is ranked 54 out of 68 in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, a few standout schools in the 32211 area are outperforming their peers.
Arlington Heights Elementary School and Parkwood Heights Elementary School both outperform the district and state in English Language Arts and Math proficiency for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades, and have relatively lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to other schools in the area. In contrast, the high schools, particularly Lone Star High School, struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) assessments, as well as concerning graduation rates.
The schools in the 32211 zip code area serve a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to the state averages, and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged population. Addressing the root causes of the high chronic absenteeism rates and ensuring equitable access to resources and support services for these students should be a priority for the district and community stakeholders.
