Crown Point Elementary School, Jacksonville FL

Original Research by School Decision on Crown Point Elementary School

Crown Point Elementary sits on the southside of Jacksonville, a part of the city that falls within the broader suburban corridor stretching away from downtown toward the St. Johns Town Center area and Baymeadows. The school serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public school in Duval County Public Schools, one of the largest school districts in Florida.

The enrollment is sizeable for an elementary school, spread fairly evenly across grade levels from kindergarten through fifth grade, with a smaller pre-K cohort at the entry point. The student body is racially and ethnically mixed: white students make up the largest share, followed by Hispanic students, then Black students, with smaller representations of multiracial students, American Indian and Alaska Native students, and Asian students. Roughly half of all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, meaning the school serves a genuinely economically diverse population. Data on English learner rates and students with IEPs was not available in the provided information.

On Florida's FAST assessments, the picture is uneven and worth a parent looking into more closely. In math, third graders scored below the majority of students statewide, while fourth graders performed well above the midpoint, and fifth graders came in around the middle. In ELA, third graders were below the majority, fourth graders were above the midpoint, and fifth graders were just below it. Fifth graders on the statewide science assessment landed at roughly the middle of the distribution. The fourth-grade math result stands out as a clear bright spot, but the third-grade scores in both subjects are soft, and trend data was not available to show whether those numbers are improving. A parent wondering whether these patterns are grade-specific, teacher-specific, or something else would be well served by asking the school directly.

No information on special programs, course offerings, discipline data, attendance rates, or staffing was available in the data provided, so those areas cannot be assessed here.

The surrounding neighborhood is part of the city's largely car-dependent suburban fabric. Jacksonville as a whole is a sprawling, fast-growing metro, publicly reported as one of the country's notable housing markets where migration and available inventory have kept prices relatively accessible compared to coastal Florida. Near Crown Point Road, the housing market reflects that. Home values in the zip code are modestly below the Florida state median and sit close to the national median, with year-over-year values showing a slight decline. Rents have been roughly flat. The estimated monthly carrying cost of a typical home purchase in the area, at current mortgage rates, runs close to what a renter would pay, making the rent-versus-buy calculation tighter than it is in many metros. This part of Jacksonville is decidedly suburban in character, reliant on cars, and removed from the walkable pockets like Riverside or San Marco.

For the district overall, the search for recent parent-relevant changes at Duval County Public Schools did not turn up confirmed specifics before the research budget was exhausted, so that piece is left out rather than guessed at.

Crown Point Elementary is a mid-sized neighborhood school serving a diverse population in a growing, affordable-by-Florida-standards corner of Jacksonville. The academic results are mixed grade to grade, which is something to probe rather than dismiss, and the relative absence of program data in what was available means a family interested in enrichment options, support services, or special programming would need to contact the school or district directly to get the full picture.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
