Standardized tests? The new school won't have them?

I am sure they will but at least they will be focusing on STEAM instead of only what is on the FCAT. I think they replaced the FCAT with a different one about 5 years ago.

The St. Joe Community Foundation (“Foundation”) has approved grants totaling more than $1 million for local education funding so far in 2021. These grants will support a variety of projects at Walton and Bay County schools.
The largest of these grants was awarded to the Walton Education Foundation in the amount of $332,955. The grant will be used to fund the Magnet Innovation Center’s new biomedical program including equipment and supplies for chemistry, physics, biology and biomedical coursework. The Magnet Innovation Center is a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) high school that opened in 2019 at the former headquarters of The St. Joe Company.
“With this grant, we will be able to provide cutting-edge equipment and technology that will make our biomedical program among the most advanced in the state,” said Dr. Alexis Tibbetts, Principal of South Walton High School and the Magnet Innovation Center. “Our students will be introduced to new and innovative ways of learning in a very important field that will better prepare them for life after school.”
