The teachers, staff, paras and intervention team at this school are top-notch! The leadership of Principal Blitch and Asst. Principal Baine is the best!

My son has excelled since being here, he finished the academics and graduated and the transition program is awesome - the ability to try different jobs to gauge possible career interests and lots of socialization!

My perspective for this review is probably going to be different. I was a visiting guest…read moreartist/assistant for an all day ceramic workshop for the juniors and seniors taking ceramics. I arrived early with Professor Cottrell from FSCJ and brought in wheels and supplies for the day and then checked in at the office for our guest badges. I did complete the background check process for Duval County Schools ahead of my visit. Being a school focused on arts was just fun to take in- art everywhere. The school plays music in between classes- fun or quirky music. Outside of the ceramics class was an outdoor sculpture garden filled with student and guest artists work! Including works from my professor. I was impressed with how clean the studio was and also intrigued about curriculum. Most of the students had never thrown on the wheel- which made things interesting. Our actual project was a handbuilt pumpkin. We taught the students how to make pumpkins from slab roller, to texture/surface decorating, to building. And we saved plenty of time at the end of the day for cleanup- which I am pretty sure both teachers were stunned about! I have a habit of keeping a tight schedule when doing events like this. My professor recently discovered my hidden talent and that's how I was invited to Douglas Anderson. I hope to return again for future projects- the exchange of ideas amongst creatives is always inspiring to me.

I attended this school when I was much younger, so I cannot comment much on the current curriculum…read more All I know is that most people who attended school here wore DA goggles. Lol. Back when I went, the curriculum was similar to college in that you had a proposed major and all your teachers were actually artistically inclined in some way or another. (I remember my government teacher was a guitar player.) The arts span both visual and performing arts (2-d and 3-d visual artists, dancers, musicians, vocalists, actors, even theatre technical staff). When I attended, they did not have culinary arts or graphic arts (since the internet was still in its infancy.... wow does this review make me sound like a dinosaur? haha), but maybe it has changed now. Who knows? Anyway, I wish I had stayed for the entire 4 years of high school, but fear of becoming a starving artist and teasing from my bro drove me out of this school. The irony is I now work at the creative department in my company designing things... Lol. If you've got a budding artist or performer in your family, definitely consider this magnet school. You got to audition, and it's much easier to become a student if you're a freshman. So don't wait too long to try out!

Unfortunately, for the most part, our public schools here in Duval County suck. But I'm not…read morereviewing the schools here, I'm reviewing this building and what goes on inside of this building. This is where all the background activity happens that actually makes the schools run. All of the bills gets paid here, textbooks and supplies get ordered here, interviews for school staff/teachers gets done here, background checks get done here, etc. Also, if for some reason, you happen to need your official high school transcript and you graduated like more than a decade ago, you'll have to come here to get it. If you don't work here in the building, then you'll have to stop at the desk just inside the entrance to get a pass. In order to do so, you'll need to show a legal photo ID, and you'll need to tell them where you need to go in the building and why. Because there are so many employees here, parking will usually be an issue. More than likely, you'll have to park way out in the back lot. My husband and I use to come here all the time until just a few months ago when his mother (who worked here) retired. They have a cafeteria on the 5th floor and she would often invite us to come have lunch with her. This building sits directly on the Southbank. Inside the building, on the north side, there are beautiful views of the river, downtown Jacksonville, and the Jaguars Stadium.
