The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The majority of the administration and faculty are very nice and accommodating. While I thought my child would be job ready and earn training in his field of study, his program only has one class every other day. I am a bit disappointed in that regard.

Pretty good school, you can get certificates in the school for your future. The food is not so bad, the diversity is pretty high compared to a lot of schools in Jacksonville. The teachers are pretty helpful and are pretty helpful, but some are very strict so be on your best behavior. The it's a dirty school and depends on the temperature can be unbearable in the school. It's a pretty large school for a dcps schools.

The best part of my experience is the academy I am in which is Cosmetology. When I graduate I will earn my highschool diploma and a cosmetology license. At this school though, there's no sports, clubs, or activities. The school is small, resources are limited, and faculty and staff aren't very helpful. I would like more involvement with the students and more things for the students to participate in besides just going to school.

This school year the school was unorganized. Whenever you ask a teacher a question, they look at you with a blank face and tell you" I know the same thing you know." The kids are hard to control and the environment is not safe

Frank H. Peterson is the brother to A Phillip Randolph. My child has attended APR and now attends Frank H. Peterson which I found to be a much better school with excellent teachers. The envrionment is much better.

My daughter will attend high school in August 2014, but after dancing in Brentwood Grades 2 - 5, then LaVilla Grades 6-8 she no longer wants to dance and attend Douglas Anderson. I do not want her to attend Andrew Jackson High based on the school's ratings...What about A. Philip Randolph. Accepting...
