I just cannot say enough about Bartram Trail High School!!…read more 1. "A" rating by Florida Department of Education 2. Ranked 425th out of 1000 High Schools in the nation 3. Received a 5 Star School Award The academics, drama dept and sports departments are all stellar and well rounded. And I have never been involved with a school that has a staff that actually is so interactive with the parents and students. I am so appreciative to everyone at Bartram who has worked directly with my son to get him to his upcoming graduation. There are some portables along the back side of the building as most high schools do today, but Bartram has a good looking, clean campus. There is always student artwork on the walls and in the halls and their sporting facility, while not an arena per say has a great place for Lacrosse, baseball, football, track and soccer. I think this school has won some kind of award in every sport but football. I am just so impressed to be associated with Bartram Trail! I encourage anyone who may be considering moving to the St John's School District to contemplate residence within the locale of this High School! If I could give a sixth star I would!

Five-Star Review for Southern Illinois University Carbondale - NAS Jacksonville Campus…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Southern Illinois University Carbondale's program located at the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida, right off US-17. This SIU satellite campus is a true hidden gem for anyone that's a police offers, firefighter, or in the military, looking to advance their education while balancing a busy schedule. From day one, the professors have been absolutely outstanding. They bring not only a wealth of knowledge but also real-world experience and a genuine passion for helping students succeed.

Whether you're active duty, a military spouse, or a working professional, SIU Carbondale at NAS Jacksonville offers flexible scheduling and a supportive community that feels like family.

I graduated from FCSL in 2010. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spend learning about law at FCSL;…read moresometimes I find myself missing the lectures and the community of aspiring lawyers I encountered during those 3 years. I'm now a corporate employee for Skechers USA in Manhattan Beach, CA. I love my job and FCSL enabled me to achieve all I have. The education was very valuable, the professors became mentors and friends and I was never a number, I was always an individual. I was accepted into 4 law schools out of the 8 I applied to. I chose Florida Coastal because they allowed me to sit in on a first year Torts class during my visit and I loved how students were excited to learn and the professors were hard on them but at the same time helpful and pushed them to be their best. The atmosphere felt like a big family.

I am a 2013 graduate of Florida Coastal School of Law. I moved from Ohio to Florida to experience…read morewarmer weather and something new. While at Coastal Law I met many wonderful students and faculty that became like family who helped shape me into the person I am today. I was in a new city, so I got heavily involved in pro bono work. This allowed me not only to get to know Jacksonville the city, but also the legal market. Without the support of my professors, the staff, and administration I would not have thrived as I did in law school. Yes, law school is hard, but at Coastal Law I was provided with the resources not only to learn, but to be successful after graduation. It was a great experience and has heavily influenced my passion to help others see the benefit of attending law school and that anything is possible if you put in the hard work.

Veritas Classical School, St. Augustine, FL…read more When God speaks, we listen. That's what led our family to uproot our lives in Southwest Florida and move to St. Augustine -- not for a job, not for retirement dreams, but for a school. Veritas Classical School wasn't just an option; it was a calling. And from the moment our daughter walked through their doors, we knew we had followed His voice to exactly the right place. Our daughter recently graduated from Veritas after attending for just two years, in 11th and 12th grade. If we could go back in time, our only regret would be not enrolling her sooner. The growth we saw in her--spiritually, academically, and personally--was nothing short of extraordinary. Veritas helped shape her into a confident, compassionate young woman grounded in biblical truth. The richness of a classical education, interwoven with a deep reverence for Scripture, provided a foundation that no other school we'd experienced could offer. This was not our first venture into Christian education. We had enrolled her previously in a Baptist Christian school, which, while well-meaning, simply didn't compare. Veritas stands apart in the way it fully integrates a Christ-centered worldview across every subject and activity. It's not just about learning about God--it's about learning through God's lens. One of the most beautiful aspects of Veritas is how welcoming the community is across denominations. While rooted in a strong biblical foundation, the school joyfully welcomes students from various Christian traditions. Our daughter studied alongside Baptist, Episcopalian, and even Catholic classmates. There is a genuine spirit of unity in Christ, and students are encouraged to grow in their personal walk with the Lord while learning how to think critically and live faithfully. From the moment we connected with the leadership, including the Head Principal and the Rhetoric Principal, to our daily interactions with teachers and staff, we felt enveloped in a community that genuinely loves their students. Their hearts are tender, their expectations are high, and their desire to see students walk in God's grace is clear in all they do. The classical model demands rigor, but at Veritas, it's paired with deep encouragement and discipleship. One of the crowning testimonies to Veritas' impact is that our daughter was accepted into Liberty University--a dream come true for her, and a path we truly believe would not have opened without the excellence, guidance, and spiritual formation she received at Veritas. No school is perfect, and if we were to offer one area for growth, it would be communication. At times, there were gaps that made it hard to stay fully informed as parents. But even with that said, the integrity, love, and mission of this school overshadowed any logistical shortcomings. Veritas Classical School isn't just a place of learning; it's a place of becoming--becoming who God created you to be. We will forever be grateful for the role this school played in our daughter's life and in our family's journey of faith. We walked in as hopeful parents. We left as firm believers in the mission of Christian classical education when it's done with conviction, excellence, and, above all, the love of Christ. If God is nudging your heart toward Veritas, don't hesitate. Listen, obey, and watch Him move. -- A Thankful Parent Class of 2025 Graduate Family St. Augustine, FL

I have known Lisa for many years. She has entered a plethora of students into our local district's…read moreFederation of Music Clubs and has been an active part of the classical music community in Jacksonville for much of her life. So much so that she has now been elected as the District President of the Federation! She comes from a high-achieving university family (her father is a Professor of Astronomy at the University of Florida) which instilled discipline into Lisa starting at a very early age and then drove her to succeed. She studied piano with my mother, Mary Lou Wesley Krosnick, for many years, who considers her to be her most beloved student, like a daughter to her. My mother studied at the Juilliard School of Music, performed at Carnegie Hall, and recently received acknowledgement as the "Music Teacher of the Year" from the statewide Florida Federation of Music Clubs. But, what I am most impressed with is Lisa's insane 7-day-week work ethic and her massive volunteer work in a dozen or so huge music organizations, even at the regional level with an official regional title of authority. I know of no piano teacher I could recommend more highly than Lisa, except for my mother, of course. Wes Krosnick Classical Music Enthusiast Lisa Smith Enthusiast

This bright blue roofed elementary school is hard to miss off of International Golf Pkwy. I can't…read moresay enough about the administration at this school and how wonderful active they are in the community. Coming from the Duval school district, Mill Creek was an incredibly pleasant change. The teachers were always in communication with the students and there seems to always be some kind of inspiring event for the kids to participate in both during and after school hours. But don't just rely on this review. I believe Mill Creek received an 'A' rating again this year. If you are moving to this area and have elementary aged children, consider trying to find a home within this schools district. 5 stars for this great little school!
