There are a lot of opportunities to get involved at BCHS even though a lot of students don't take advantage of them. The athletic programs range from mediocre to above average. The football team has gone to the state playoffs 4 times out of the past 7 years. Every year AT LEAST 2 players are signed to a Division 1 college and at least 5 more commit to other schools. Most come back after a year though because they received special treatment from their teachers in high school and can't keep up in college. There are lots of clubs that cost around $10 to join at the beginning of the year. There used to be elective programs, but I think most of those are gone since moving to a 7 period day (instead of 4). Some teachers really care and give a great foundation for college and life, while others just... don't. One big problem I have is the guidance counselors only care about Seniors so you will not get the attention you deserve for a good 3 years! I didn't get into a University because I was never counseled about which classes were best for me. Dual enrollment is for the "elite". I was technically a part of that "in", but the program isn't put out there for everyone to take advantage of.

If you have ever had a child in Duval Co. schools, you would know that this is top of the line and advanced compared to other educational institutions and they are even teaching the children ahead of grade levels. Love the teacher, Mrs. Southey, extended day staff and office staff. Fantastic manners, clean and organized. Plenty of play stimulation with serious curriculum. Children are not allowed to be unruly so much as to affect other students. No complaints of bullying from my child like the last two institutions in Duval Co.'s "Early Learning" type of "Academy" for daycare, and an Elementary school in Duval. Baker Co. doesn't seem to allow students to disrupt learning and emotional stability of other students. Thanks Macclenny Elementary!! Jessica W

Mrs.Long and the 8th grade Blu Team are the Absolute Best! Along with Ms.Schneider and Mr.McClendon!!!
