How San Jose Primary School compares with Florida and U.S. medians
What stands out at San Jose Primary School
San Jose Primary School is a higher-need, mid-sized charter elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, enrolling 244 students.
Class loads run heavy: 30.5:1 is larger than about 96% of Florida schools and 71% above the 17.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Its free-meal eligibility rate of 50.5% lands close to the Florida typical range, neither a high- nor low-need campus by this measure.
Enrollment of 244 puts it in the smaller third of Florida schools by headcount.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 96% of the 3,996 Florida schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 132 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need Florida schools statewide, it ranks #126, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by Hispanic or Latino (45%) and White (23%) (diversity index 70/100).
Counselor coverage is strong, about 244 students per counselor, inside the American School Counselor Association's recommended 250:1.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 56.6% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 19.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.
Duval also operates Atlantic Coast High School (2,887 students) and Sandalwood High School (2,627 students) alongside San Jose Primary School.
