Yulee High School is a four-year school located in Yulee, Florida. The original school closed in 1965 when Florida desegregated public schools. Following desegregation, students were allowed to choose between attending West Nassau or Fernandina Beach. [4] The current institution opened in 2006, although Yulee had been the site of a high school earlier, from the 1930s to the 1960s. The initial graduating class of Yulee High School, in 2007, had a 71% graduation rate, 23% of whom graduated with honors.

Civil rights groups and auditors also say that the school has systemic problems with opportunities and discipline regarding minorities. [7] . An audit from the state of Florida also shows that Black students with disabilities are more than 2 times more likely to get disciplined. [8]
