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.

Douglas Anderson has it's reputation of being one of the best Arts schools in our district, and after attending for four years, I would stand by that statement. It has changed a plethora over the years, but with that change has been many improvements. From better faculty that are attentive to the teachers and students, to more opportunities available for the kids in the arts. This school has been amazing to attend for my time in high school and I wouldn't have it any other way.

The best part of Douglas Anderson is the art teachers. Every art teacher I've had has been extremely passionate to their craft and determined to share their knowledge with the students. The worst part of DA was the administration the past three years. Now we're on our third principal since I've been at DA and he seems like a great addition to the school. The admin during the previous years were extremely unorganized.

I love the talent that I get to witness at this school. The dedication that I see in my peers is so inspiring when it comes to my art that I'm always striving to do better. The friends that I've been able to make here are amazing as well, I've gotten close to people that I hope to have in my life for as long as possible.
The D.A. administrators have a lot of work to do in terms of focus on donor money, publicity, and their lack of attention to the AMAZING history of the school itself and its student body issues individually and at-large. Besides that, I wouldn’t have gone to any other high school in Duval County. Fo...
DA is an outstanding school with a great music program. Academics are good and I feel that they well prepare students for college. I see comments regarding favoritism- in my experience with the school if you work hard it will be noticed and you will be rewarded. The school challenges students and dr...
DA advertises academic excellence, but academics are mediocre at best. In the majority of my child’s classes, nine weeks worth of grading is typically saved until the last few days of the quarter. Therefore, students are not given feedback on their mastery of the subject matter until it is too late....
This school should take a que from the Hamilton musical regarding diversity. I live in the community and this is my third show and possibly my last it's very disappointing is it only one group of students that can star in their productions?
