Original Research by School Decision on Englewood Elementary School
Englewood Elementary sits on Spring Park Road in Jacksonville's 32207 zip code, serving kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular Duval County public school. The enrollment is a few hundred students, placing it on the smaller side for an elementary school of its grade band. The student body is notably diverse: Hispanic students make up the largest group, followed by Black and white students, with a meaningful share of Asian students as well. A substantial share of the student population qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, signaling that many families here are navigating real economic pressure. Data on English learners and students with IEPs was not available, so parents with children who may need those services should ask the school directly about staffing and capacity.
The academic picture, drawn from Florida's FAST assessments for the 2024-25 school year, shows room for growth across all tested subjects and grades. Third-grade math is the strongest result in the data, with proficiency approaching but not reaching the majority of students. By fourth and fifth grade, math proficiency drops noticeably. ELA results are lower still, with fewer than half of third graders testing proficient and fourth and fifth grade figures well below that. Fifth-grade science follows a similar pattern to upper-grade math. These are the reported state results; parents who want to understand whether a particular grade or classroom is trending in a better direction should ask the school about its internal progress data, since multi-year trend information was not available here.
No program offerings data was included in the payload, so whether Englewood has specific enrichment tracks, arts programs, or intervention supports beyond standard instruction is not something this account can address. A parent visit or direct inquiry to the school would fill that gap.
On the community side, Englewood Elementary is part of Duval County Public Schools, which publicly reported no confirmed district-level strategic changes or headline initiatives in the research available, so that piece was left out rather than guessed at.
The immediate housing market around the school's zip code reflects prices that sit meaningfully below Florida's statewide median and roughly in line with or just below the national median, making this part of Jacksonville comparatively accessible for buyers. Rents in the area are similarly modest by both state and national reference points, and year-over-year values have edged slightly downward, which is worth knowing for families timing a move. Mortgage carrying costs relative to income run at a ratio that sits below the threshold most affordability analysts flag as a strain point, and renting versus buying is close enough in monthly cost that the choice comes down more to stability preference than a clear financial tilt.
Jacksonville itself is a large and sprawling city, very car-dependent outside a handful of walkable neighborhoods like Riverside, Avondale, and San Marco. The 32207 zip code is on the southside of the St. Johns River, not far from San Marco's square and the general corridor between downtown and the Southside suburbs. The city's major employers span health care systems, logistics and distribution, the military, and financial services, giving the region a diverse economic base. Downtown Jacksonville is publicly reported to be in the middle of a substantial development push, with residential and mixed-use projects advancing along the riverfront, though how much of that activity directly touches the Spring Park Road neighborhood will depend on which direction growth extends over the next several years.
For a family weighing Englewood, the school's test results warrant a direct conversation with school leadership about what instructional supports are in place and how students at different starting points are progressing. The neighborhood's affordability relative to the rest of Florida is a real factor for families working within a budget.
