Welcome!

I am so pleased to welcome you to Duval County Public Schools, one of the top-rated urban school districts in the nation. Over 91% of our schools have achieved a grade of A, B, or C, and we have seen record-high graduation rates over the last few years. Both of these demonstrate our consistent ability to prepare students for success in college, career, and life. We are home to more than 150 schools, each complete with a team of dedicated educators ready to help launch your child’s academic future. 

For those of you with students in our district, I want to thank you for entrusting your child’s education to us. We do not take this responsibility lightly, knowing that a strong education provides the foundation for life-long achievement. The skills that our students develop here will equip them to be highly productive and capable leaders and contributors to society.

For those of you wondering whether Duval County Public Schools is the right place for your child, I would love for you to consider the following: 

• Our students have unparalleled pathways to earn college credit while in high school – and even in middle school – through our acceleration and early college programs.

• The foundation for these excellent programs begins in elementary and middle schools.

• Through our expansive career and technical education programs, we provide students with the opportunity to earn industry-recognized certifications, giving them an advantage in college admissions and career entry.
