Coastal Sciences is an interdisciplinary program that helps students investigate, understand, appreciate, and champion sustainable actions to protect and preserve the valuable North Florida waterways and other coastal environments. As the future stewards of the earth, it is essential that students understand the precious coastal resources so they can better care for these resources. Cross-curricular study and community partnerships, such as Jacksonville University's Marine Science Research Institute, generate opportunities for students to conduct research projects that increase student and community awareness and interest in the coastal and water resources of the region.
Utilization of Magnet Schools
The school district strives to have the utilization of all schools between 85% and 105% of their current capacity. The 2011-2012 utilization of each magnet school helps determine the number of new magnet openings a school may offer for the 2012-2013 magnet lottery.
