I placed the ones I consider to be poor in bold, I am not sure of all of them and this is just my opinion.

You can always get the facts here: Duval County Public Schools: Teaching. Learning. Achieving.

I thiunk it would be easier to tell you which high schools you should look into and avoid the others. If I had it to do again I would INSIST that all my children attend either Stanton, Paxon or Douglas Anderson. However, these are magnet schools and for Paxon and Stanton you have to be an academic star and either gain entry by the lottery system or by being accepted into the International Baccalaureate program. Douglas Anderson, (DA), is the arts magnet school and the students audition for entry. DA is known now only for it's fantastic atrs program, but also for its academic excellence as well. Good luck.

You need to add Darnell-Cookman to this list. Next year Darnell is adding a ninth grade class.

The school grades came out not that long ago, I actually think there's a post about them. Almost every hs in duval failed D/F. The one's that didn't were Stanton (A), Paxon (A), Douglas Anderson (A), Mandarin (B), Wolfson (C) and Fletcher (A). That's 6 out of 21, and the first 3 are for the most part hard to get into, as they're selective high schools. Darnell-Cookman isn't listed (though it was an A middle school this year), but it is also selective.
