Paxon School Advanced Studies

I am a current alumni of Paxon from the class of 2011. I spent the four of my best years at Paxon. This school is challenging. However, it brings the best of ones abilities out. The school has a wonderful leadership program with the teachers as well as for the students. The JROTC is one of the best in Jacksonville. They hold the highest of distinction awards available for the program. the AP classes and IB courses are rigorous, but it leads and prepares the student for further schooling. Such as, college, medical school, or whatever comes later.

take it from an alumni, it is a true diamond in the rough, in its neighborhood, it has very intelligent students and great extracurricular activities.

My son went to this school and had an extremely hard time getting help. Even though it was a challanging program, children can rise to the occasion with the appropriate guidance. After having several conferences with the teachers for assistance, I realized that if you were not in the IB program, there was no where to go to receive approprate help. Paxon has other programs besides the IB program. They need to provide assistance in those programs as well as in the IB program.

This school was one of the few schools in Jacksonville that received my appreciation. This year it seemed to me like the students were not as enthusiastic about learning as they had been and the teachers were worried about the new legislation. I even comfronted some students that came to school with the idea that they were not going to learn anything on that day. it is a pitty. Students give the teachers a chance to teach and apply your self so that what you learn stays with you!!!

I graduated from Paxon in 2008 as an IB diploma recipient, and it was definitely worth the effort. The faculty are amazing, with few exceptions. Administration is a bit behind, however, and nearly all have superiority complexes. (Sorry to break their bubble, but it is not difficult to find a position as school administration... thus they deserve no respect from myself.) The teachers are truly where the credit needs to be given. I received 68 college credit hours from high school... because of their support and encouragement. I would highly recommend this school to anyone willing and determined to succeed.
