Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts (DSOA) is a public high school in West Palm Beach, Florida. Formerly named the Palm Beach County School of the Arts (also known as "School of the Arts" or "SOA"), the school was renamed in recognition of a 1997 donation of $1 million by Alexander W. Dreyfoos, Jr., a West Palm Beach philanthropist.

DSOA is administrated by the School District of Palm Beach County, which also provides most of its funding. The school receives supplementary funds for its arts and academics from the School of the Arts Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Designation

DSOA is designated by the School District of Palm Beach County as a "choice" school. The District's Choice programs, formerly known as magnet schools, were part of a plan by the District in the 1980s to desegregate the county's schools without forced busing that would meet Federal requirements to attract white students schools in predominantly African-American neighborhoods. In subsequent years, federal desegregation requirements eased. The programs became career academies under a rebranded "School Choice" program.[2]

Student Body

A total enrollment of 1296[3] diverse student body with 41% minority enrollment and 16% economically disadvantaged[3] is selected from across Palm Beach County through a process of competitive auditions in one of the six art areas.

Students must reside in Palm Beach County, and show proof of that residence when they enroll and re-enroll each year. The majority of students commute to the school from around the county by District buses, by Tri-Rail to the train station across the street on Tamarind Avenue, and by car. A few students live locally and walk or bike to the campus.

Majors

Students are selected to major in one core art area: Communication Arts, Dance, Digital Media, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts. Music is sub-divided into programs in Concert Band/Jazz, Orchestra, Vocal and Piano.[4] Students are then said to 'major' in their art area, taking at least two art area classes per year in addition to other academic and other classes. They may switch majors while attending, if they audition again and are accepted in the art area. Although students cannot dual major, they are permitted to take elective courses in other art areas if their schedule permits.

National Recognition

Dreyfoos is considered one of the top public arts and academics schools in the country. It has a 100% Advanced Placement (AP) participation rate, and has more Advanced Placement offerings than any other school in the District.[3] It regularly appears on national 'Top High Schools' lists at U.S. News[3] and Newsweek,[5] among others, as the top school in the nation for both arts and academics since 2005.

Accreditation

The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).

Visual Arts

Dreyfoos School of the Arts had the highest percentage of students passing the AP exam of any large high school in the world.[6] This is the third time the school's visual art department has received this distinction, having achieved it previously in 2005 and 2006.[7][8]

In the summer of 2014, a group of Vocal students competed in the Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales, and placed 1st in the Senior Children's Choir category and 2nd in both the Folk and Open categories. Most recently, they were invited to the American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) National Conference to perform as Choir of Distinction.{{fact|date=March 2019}}

Band

The Jazz Band in 1998 was a finalist in the Essentially Ellington competition.

In 2008 the Wind Ensemble was selected to perform in Washington D.C. as part of the Presidential inauguration festivities.

In 2012 the school's Jazz Ensemble 1 was the winner of the 2012 Jazz and Swing Preservation society's 2012 "Battle of the Bands" which invited high schools across Palm Beach County, Florida to compete.[14] In 2016, they were the winner of the 2016 Swing Central competition in Savannah, Georgia. [15]

The Dreyfoos Theatre Department received the Educational Theatre Association's Outstanding School

Accolades

In 2008, the school's student newsmagazine, The Muse, won the National Scholastic Press Association's prestigious Newspaper Pacemaker award, a recognition of the top student publications in the United States.[18] This is the second time Dreyfoos has won the award, having earned it previously in 2004 to become the first school publication in Florida to do so.[19] The Muse also won fifth place in "Best in Show" at the 2008 Fall Convention of the National Scholastic Press Association, having previously earned eighth place at the 2006 Spring Convention.[20][21]

History

Twin Lakes was founded in 1908 as Palm Beach High School; it was established one year before the founding of the county itself and is the oldest high school in the county. Originally for whites, Palm Beach High merged in the 1970-1971 school year with the black Roosevelt High School following integration, forming Twin Lakes High School.[26]

Alexander W. Dreyfoos, at the suggestion of Dreyfoos Chairman Laurence Brandt Levine, donated the majority funding for the transformation of the campus, making the largest private contribution ever made to a public school in Florida, pledging $1,000,000 to support the Palm Beach County School of the Arts, which was subsequently renamed in his honor, the Alexander W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts (DSOA).[27]

The Palm Beach School of the Arts was then divided into two entities: Dreyfoos School of the Arts and the Middle School of the Arts, which later became the BAK Middle School of the Arts serving grades 6-8. MSOA remained on the Mangonia Park campus.

Dreyfoos celebrated the site's 100-Year Celebration with the "100 Years on the Hill" event.

In 2010, Burt Reynolds who graduated from the campus when it was Palm Beach High, returned to the campus for a dedication of the front drive, now used as a pick-up/drop-off for the school as "Burt Reynolds Drive."[28]
