The Florida Department of Education has once again recognized our school with an "A" School Grade for the 2025–2026 school year! This distinction reflects the dedication of our students, teachers, staff, families, and Governing Board to academic excellence and continuous improvement. While maintaining an "A" rating is an outstanding accomplishment, this year's results demonstrate remarkable progress across nearly every area of student achievement. BDCHS increased its overall accountability score from 661 points in 2024–2025 to 697 points in 2025–2026, representing a 36-point gain in the school's overall performance. Congratulations to our Phoenix Family! #A-School #BDCHS #PhoenixPride #WeAreBDCHS #Excellence
