This school is among the worst of any in duval county. Bullying is not taking serious. The teachers are COWARDS as well as the administration. The staff from the top to the bottom are only interested in collecting a check and not about the well being of the students. Couldn't get my child out of there faster enough!

Its funny they have great teacher and great programs for all students. If you have any problems with students bullying or being mean you tell a teacher and the teacher will help write away. Well that's all I have to say about Jefferson Davis Middle School

When we first found out that our daughter and our niece were on the waiting list for a Magnet School, our hearts dropped because we heard so much negativity about JD. My husband had mentioned changing shifts at work so that he could be able to volunteer at the school to be closer to our daughter to protect her (Yes, we heard it was that bad!) At the last minute, I found out about the Avid Program and we decided to enroll them in there.By the end of the second week of school, my daughter announced that she didn't care if she got the call to go to the magnet school because she LOVES Jefferson Davis and so do I. Her teachers are WONDERFUL! She has a hard time trying to rank them because she considers all her teachers to be her favorite. My story proves that you shouldn't always listen to what other people say and just go see for yourself. I am more than happy with this school as it has exceeded all of my expectations. My nephew's magnet application came in a few weeks ago.......I threw it away! He is going to Jefferson Davis Middle School!! Thumbs up to all the teachers and administrators that have made this school/program a success!!

The faculty and staff in the Cambridge program at Jefferson Davis Middle school are wonderful! My son is currently in the 8th grade Cambridge program and we couldn't be happier with his experience.
