• Comment. Normally, I would have no objection to merging the article into the relevant school district, Duval County Public Schools. However, the district has over 150 schools. I found three articles on Google News. There are other schools named after James Weldon Johnson in New York City and Chicago, and probably elsewhere as well.--Eastmain (talk) 03:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge/redirect to Duval County Public Schools per usual practice. Mentioning which schools are Magnet schools would be a perfectly encyclopaedic addition to that page without overbalancing it. TerriersFan (talk) 03:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
• Merge as per TerriersFan. If need be, someday break-out articles could be made on Duval County Public Schools. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:11, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

• Merge per TerriersFan. CRGreathouse (t | c) 16:39, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Found a source that cites this school as an example of "best practices." 69.140.152.55 (talk) 07:05, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - nice research; the full report is here. TerriersFan (talk) 15:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• Change to keep - being cited by a state education department as being an example of best practice, particularly in difficult circumstances, is certainly a statement of notability. TerriersFan (talk) 01:22, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
• Keep per TF. The new information is quite a compelling argument for the notability of the school. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 02:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
