Best Public Schools in Zip Code 32246


Summary:

The 32246 zip code area in Jacksonville, Florida is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Duval school district. While the district is ranked 54 out of 68 in Florida and has a 1-star rating, a few standout schools in the area are providing exceptional educational opportunities for students.

The Duval Charter School At Coastal and Cornerstone Classical Academy, both charter schools, consistently outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with high proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra, Geometry, and English Language Arts. These schools also have relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and favorable student-teacher ratios. In contrast, several traditional public schools in the area, such as Windy Hill Elementary and Southside Estates Elementary, struggle with high chronic absenteeism and lower test scores, often correlated with higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students.

The data also reveals that Kernan Trail Elementary is a high-performing public school, ranking in the top half of Florida elementary schools with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, Sandalwood High School stands out with a 92.4% four-year graduation rate, exceeding the state average. However, the high per-student spending at Alden Road Exceptional Student Center suggests the need to explore more cost-effective ways to provide specialized services for students with special needs.
