Duval County High Schools

 How a Duval high school zone actually works

The district assigns an elementary, a middle, and a high school to the street address. That assignment is the seat you can enroll in without winning a lottery. Magnet schools and magnet programs inside a neighborhood school are a second step. For the 2026-27 year, Duval published a magnet and Special Transfer Option window of December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026, with results no later than mid-March. Confirm the next window on the DCPS magnet page. Do not memorize a date off a blog.

Florida Statute 1003.05 treats a student whose parent is transferring to a military installation in Florida, with orders, as a resident for enrollment, and it gives preferential treatment in controlled open enrollment. That is not a reserved seat at Stanton. Orders do not audition for Douglas Anderson. Ask Enrollment Services how the statute applies to your report date. The military page is on dcps.duvalschools.org.

Charter high schools operate inside the county and run their own applications. They are not the neighborhood zone. If a listing mentions a charter, confirm the seat with that school. This article stays with the district high schools.

The St. Johns River. West bank, east bank, and the Beaches are all Duval County Public Schools. Ponte Vedra is not.

 Andrew Jackson High School

Neighborhood zone. 3816 N Main Street, Jacksonville, FL 32206.

Andrew Jackson sits on Main Street on the Northside, in the Brentwood and Gateway conversation. The seat is the address on the Duval locator, not a magnet application. The campus also runs programs such as Air Force JROTC. A program inside the school is not the same thing as a countywide magnet. If the locator names a different high school for that street, believe the locator.

 Atlantic Coast High School

Neighborhood zone. 9735 R.G. Skinner Parkway, Jacksonville, FL 32256.

Atlantic Coast is the southeast Duval campus off R.G. Skinner Parkway, near the Bartram and Bayard map. Buyers lump it with Mandarin because both are south. They are different schools and different zones. A house in 32256 can feed Atlantic Coast, Mandarin, or a magnet the student applied to. Run the address. Skinner Parkway traffic at school release is a real commute fact. It is not a school grade.

 Baldwin Middle-Senior High School

Neighborhood zone, grades 6-12. 291 Mill Street W, Baldwin, FL 32234.

Baldwin is the town west of Jacksonville, still inside Duval County, on the way to Macclenny. The campus is a middle and high school together. The zone is Baldwin and the rural streets around it, not Ortega and not the beaches. Families stationed at NAS Jacksonville sometimes look here for land and a lower price. The drive back to the gate is the trade. Confirm the street on the district locator before you treat a Baldwin listing as zoned here.

 Duncan U. Fletcher High School

Neighborhood zone. 700 Seagate Avenue, Neptune Beach, FL 32266.

Fletcher is the Duval high school for the Beaches. Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and Jacksonville Beach are separate cities. They are not a separate school district. Fletcher's address is Neptune Beach. Ponte Vedra is the next town south and it is St. Johns County, which means Ponte Vedra High School, not Fletcher. The county line is the school line. Do not shop 'the beaches' as one zone.

A campus building. The assignment is the address, not the photo.

 Edward H. White High School

Neighborhood zone. 1700 Old Middleburg Road N, Jacksonville, FL 32210.

Ed White is on Old Middleburg Road on the Westside, in the NAS Jacksonville commute shed. Westside High School is a different campus, farther southwest on Firestone Road. Listings near 103rd Street, Lane Avenue, and the Ortega fringe get both names thrown around. Only the locator knows which one the deeded address feeds. Magnet programs on a neighborhood campus still do not replace the zone.

 Englewood High School

Neighborhood zone. 4412 Barnes Road S, Jacksonville, FL 32207.

Englewood is south of the San Marco and San Jose map, on Barnes Road. Samuel W. Wolfson is also in this part of town, on Powers Avenue, and Wolfson is a magnet. Living near Englewood does not place a student at Wolfson. Living near Wolfson does not place a student at Englewood unless the locator says so. Southside buyers mix these two up more than any other pair in Duval.

 First Coast High School

Neighborhood zone. 590 Duval Station Road, Jacksonville, FL 32218.

First Coast serves the Northside around Duval Station Road, Oceanway, and the Airport / I-95 north corridor. It is a neighborhood high school. It is not the school for Mandarin, and it is not the school for a Mayport address unless the locator says that street feeds here. Northside inventory is where a lot of the under-$200,000 search actually clears. The school question is still street by street.

 Jean Ribault High School

Neighborhood zone. 3701 Winton Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32208.

Ribault is north of downtown, off Winton Drive, in the Ribault / Garden City / north-of-the-river map. Andrew Jackson and Raines are the other high schools buyers hear about in north and northwest Jacksonville. They are three campuses, three zones. A Main Street address and a Winton Drive address are not the same assignment. Check the locator, then look the campus up by its official name on the Florida Department of Education grade file.

 Mandarin High School

Neighborhood zone. 4831 Greenland Road, Jacksonville, FL 32258.

Mandarin High is on Greenland Road in south Duval. The neighborhood people call Mandarin is bigger than one high school zone. Atlantic Coast takes a large piece of the southeastern streets. A Mandarin mailing address, or ZIP 32258, is not proof of this campus. Hood Road, San Jose, and Old St. Augustine Road all need their own lookup. The drive to NAS Jacksonville is usually the Buckman Bridge and I-295. The drive to Mayport is the long one.

Jacksonville across the St. Johns. The river splits NAS Jacksonville from Mayport, and it splits school zones too.

 Riverside High School

Neighborhood zone. 1200 S McDuff Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32205.

Riverside High is on McDuff Avenue in the urban west, the campus that used to carry the Robert E. Lee name. The zone conversation is Riverside, Avondale, and the streets the district still assigns here. Ortega is not automatically this school. A 1920s house and a 2005 house can sit in different zones if the line runs down a collector. Historic housing is why people buy here. Insurance, flood, and the inspection are the other half of that decision, separate from the campus name.

 Sandalwood High School

Neighborhood zone. 2750 John Promenade Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32246.

Sandalwood's campus is on John Promenade Boulevard, east of the old Southside site, near Southside Boulevard and the Baymeadows / Deerwood / Kernan map. Terry Parker is Arlington. Atlantic Coast is farther south. A listing that says 'near the Town Center' can be any of those, or a magnet. The Town Center is a mall. It is not a school zone. Run the street.

 Terry Parker High School

Neighborhood zone. 7301 Parker School Road, Jacksonville, FL 32211.

Terry Parker is the Arlington high school, on Parker School Road between University Boulevard, Fort Caroline, and the east side of the river. Mayport families sometimes land in Arlington because the drive to the base is shorter than from Mandarin. That does not make the house a Fletcher zone. Fletcher is the Beaches. Parker is Arlington. Merrill Road and Monument Road addresses still get checked one at a time.

 Westside High School

Neighborhood zone. 5530 Firestone Road, Jacksonville, FL 32244.

Westside High is on Firestone Road in southwest Jacksonville, the 103rd / Blanding / Ortega Farms side of the Westside, closer to the Clay County line than Ed White is. Oakleaf and Orange Park are Clay County schools. A house on the Duval side of Blanding is not an Oakleaf address just because the shopping is. County line first, then the Duval locator.

 William M. Raines High School

Neighborhood zone. 3663 Raines Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32209.

Raines is on Raines Avenue in northwest Jacksonville. The neighborhood high school is the default seat. Programs inside the campus, including the ones the district lists in its magnet catalog, are applications on top of that. They are not a promise that a nearby address is assigned here. Ribault and Andrew Jackson are the names that get swapped with Raines in listing remarks. Use the locator.

 Stanton College Preparatory School

Magnet. Apply. Not a zone.. 1149 W 13th Street, Jacksonville, FL 32209.

Stanton is a college-preparatory magnet. You do not buy a house on 13th Street to get in. Admission is the district application and lottery, with the priority rules in School Board Policy 5.46. For 2026-27 the magnet window the district published ran December 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026, with results by mid-March. Next year's dates go on the district magnet page, not in a listing. If orders arrive after that window, the zoned high school is the seat that does not depend on a waitlist.

 Paxon School for Advanced Studies

Magnet. Apply. Not a zone.. 3239 Norman E. Thagard Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32254.

Paxon is the advanced-studies magnet on the Westside, on Norman E. Thagard Boulevard. It draws from the whole county by application. A house next door is still zoned to a neighborhood high school, usually Ed White or another west campus, until a magnet seat is offered. Continuity from a specific middle school can change priority. It does not replace the published lottery. Confirm both the zone and the magnet calendar.

 Samuel W. Wolfson High School

Magnet. Apply. Not a zone.. 7000 Powers Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32217.

Wolfson, on Powers Avenue, is a magnet for advanced studies. Englewood High School is the neighborhood campus families in this part of the Southside actually need to look up. San Marco, San Jose, and Granada buyers hear 'Wolfson' because the building is nearby. Nearby is not enrolled. The application path is the same district lottery as Stanton and Paxon, with its own program rules.

 Douglas Anderson School of the Arts

Magnet. Audition. Not a zone.. 2445 San Diego Road, Jacksonville, FL 32207.

Douglas Anderson is the arts magnet on San Diego Road in the San Marco area. The district requires an audition for lottery priority or for admission, on top of the application. LaVilla is the middle-school arts campus. Douglas Anderson is the high school. A house in San Marco is zoned to a neighborhood high school unless the student is accepted here. Audition dates are published by the school, not by the MLS.

 Darnell-Cookman School of the Medical Arts

Magnet, grades 6-12. Apply. Not a zone.. 1701 N Davis Street, Jacksonville, FL 32209.

Darnell-Cookman is the medical-arts magnet downtown on Davis Street, and it runs middle and high grades. It is an application school. The home search page we have for it is filed with the middle schools because the campus starts before ninth grade. The rule is the same either way. The address you buy does not admit the student. The zoned middle and the zoned high school still matter on the day the lottery says no.

 Frank H. Peterson Academies of Technology

Career and technical. Apply.. 7450 Wilson Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32210.

Peterson is the district career and technical high school on Wilson Boulevard, near the Herlong / Westside industrial map. Students apply for an academy. It is not the neighborhood high school printed for a nearby subdivision. If the student is not accepted, the zoned campus is the enrollment path. We do not have a separate Peterson homes-for-sale URL. Use the school directory, then the locator for the house.

 A. Philip Randolph Career Academies

Career academies. Apply.. 1157 Golfair Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32209.

Randolph is on Golfair Boulevard on the Northside. The district lists career academies there, from the trades to health sciences, and students apply. It is not a house-zone school. Northside addresses still have a neighborhood high school, often Ribault, Raines, Andrew Jackson, or First Coast, depending on the street. Ask the locator for that one even if a career academy is the goal.

 After you pick a campus

Write the official school name down. Look it up on Florida DOE school grades. Then open homes by school and read the listings as houses, not as proof of the zone. Before you drop the inspection contingency, run the address one more time. New construction and a condo with a unit number are the two that surprise people.

Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau are different districts. Oakleaf, Fleming Island, Bartram Trail, and Fernandina Beach do not appear above because they are not Duval high schools. The directory covers them on their own county lists.
