One of the worst High Schools in Orlando. It was so bad, I pulled my child out months later and I’m not alone. While sitting in the lobby, I counted at least five other parents withdrawing their kids also. Teachers don’t teach and don’t care. Substitutes in nearly every class. In a couple of CORE CLASSES, my child didn’t have a permanent teacher for MONTHS and they had the kids doing “Missing Work” the first week of school. Roll taking is always inaccurate and they don’t have a clue which students belong in their classes and which ones don’t. Students are ALWAYS goofing off and teachers literally do nothing. Students here are a bunch of troublemakers. The first couple of weeks of school there were at least 9 fights. Fights are practically a daily occurrence. I’m talking fists flying and teachers having to peel students off of each other. Racial slurs are thrown all around. They need security here. The food in the cafeteria is disgusting. There is no AC since going from class to class is literally outdoors. There is only one building with AC and in that building, the water fountain is broken, so the kids must walk all the way to the cafeteria for water. Speaking of things that are broken, many restrooms are locked since they are disgusting and broken. They don’t bother to fix them or discipline the kids that destroy them. Kids are scared to use the restrooms here and must walk far away from their class to use them. Don’t be fooled by their IB and Magnet Programs. Choose a different school for you child and avoid this place. The inmates run the show. Don’t believe me? Search the internet for the school fight here in 2026. Ineffective “staffulty.”

it was better in the 6-7th grade tbh… my 8th grade year was ruined i mean—the rules are over doing it, people cant walk properly OUTSIDE IN A COURTYARD and a lot of people used the grass to get to their classes faster. now im almost always late trying to get around those few groups that decide to stand dead smack in the middle of the sidewalk. the officer there? he’s a power trip. i do recommend this school but notunder this principal

This school is so amazing. I went here K-5 it was the best 6 years of my life. The teachers are amazing and so caring. Work is relatively easy and not long at all. It is so fun. I really enjoyed the alternating between PE, music, and art.
