Summary:
The 32219 zip code area of Jacksonville, Florida is home to two elementary schools: Dinsmore Elementary School and S.A. Hull Elementary School. While Dinsmore Elementary is a relatively strong-performing school, S.A. Hull Elementary faces significant challenges in terms of academic achievement, attendance, and resource allocation.
Duval County school district data shows that Dinsmore Elementary has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the district and state averages on most academic proficiency measures. In contrast, S.A. Hull Elementary has a 1-star rating and struggles significantly, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. The high chronic absenteeism rate of 56.6% at S.A. Hull is a concerning issue that likely contributes to the school's poor academic outcomes.
The data also reveals notable differences in the schools' student populations and resource allocation. Dinsmore Elementary has a more diverse student body, with 51.76% African American, 31.26% White, and 10.08% Hispanic students, while S.A. Hull is 87.5% African American. Additionally, S.A. Hull spends $14,390 per student, compared to Dinsmore's $9,350 per student, yet the higher-spending school is not achieving better results, suggesting that factors beyond just funding may be more important drivers of student success.
