Duval Charter School At Westside

What Duval Charter School At Westside does

Duval Charter School at Westside is a tuition-free public charter school serving students in grades K-8 at a single campus located at 9238 103rd Street in Jacksonville, Florida. The school is governed by Renaissance Charter School Inc. and operates as a member of the Charter Schools USA (CSUSA) family of schools, which provides the parent management organization, operational frameworks, and shared technology infrastructure. Its core product is a tuition-free K-8 education funded through Florida's per-pupil state allocation, supplemented by Pre-K and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) programs, a Choice Flexibility (C-Flex) personalized pathway, athletics and clubs, and before/after care services. The school is in candidacy status for the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and has implemented the Ron Clark Academy House System — a licensed four-house (Panthers, Jaguars, Tigers, Lions) culture framework designed to drive character development and school spirit.

The school's technology stack is entirely third-party and standards-based for K-12 administration: PowerSchool for the student information system and gradebook, SchoolMint for enrollment management, Edmodo and Schoology as learning management systems, Clever for single sign-on, Okta for staff authentication, MySchoolBucks for fee payment, and iReady, STAR Reading/Math, and FAST for assessment and progress monitoring. The school uses personal devices and digital tools to support individualized learning plans. Certifications include Cognia accreditation and compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA, Section 504, and Section 508 accessibility requirements.

Revenue is generated through Florida per-pupil state funding tied to enrollment; the school charges no tuition. Customer acquisition is conducted through open enrollment via the SchoolMint platform, school tours, CSUSA family network events, and a modest social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The customer base is individual K-8 families within the Jacksonville area; there are no B2B or enterprise contracts. The school is led by Principal Paul Lovely, recently appointed, and operates with a lean staff of approximately 15 employees.
