Hi all, we are possibly moving to the Jacksonville area soon. We liked a few homes that were shown to us. They fell in the Southwest HS district. From what I understand Southwest is rated last in Onslow County. My daughters are in AP programs currently.
I would like to know the good about Southwest HS, and the bad. Should we steer clear?
The house in Jacksonville in really nice, move in ready. For contrast, there is another home in Swansboro That is smaller but nice and would need an addition. Cost between the two with an addition would be about the same.
I have made multiple trips over the last 6 months getting a feel for the area.
Im curious what some of you may know about the school and the overall area.
Southwest High School has Advanced Placement and Honors programs. If they are not enough, Onslow also has an Early College program based at the Onslow Community College in Jacksonville.
Yes, according to the Greatschools rankings, Southwest is a 3 of 10, the lowest rated HS. I suggest you keep looking at houses, especially in Richlands and Swansboro. Also check the FSBO site, MilitaryByOwner. The major military turnover period is in June. Houses are selling within days in my area served by Dixon HS.
If homeschooling is an option for you, there is a growing community if home-scoolers. My neighbor's kid just got into a good state university after a home high school education.
