THE BEST SCHOOLS EVER THE TEACHER AND STAFF ARE SO KINDA

I recently graduated from Choctawhatchee High School and all I can say is that it was bad. For all four years of my high school career, the A/C was constantly broken, and when “fixed”, 75% of the time it’d break down again within the next day or two. The school is severely overpacked and nobody does anything about it. Within my last two years there, it just got more and more cramped, and now according to a few friends I have still at Choctaw, the hallways will be at complete standstills for at least two minutes due to how many students there are. The guidance counselors were either never available, looked at you like you had ten heads, or acted like you were heavily inconveniencing them with whatever you had to talk about. I was trying to get my transcripts from the school a few months ago so I could enroll in college classes and the guidance office just laughed, went “well that sucks”, and hung up. The front office ladies? Forget about it. They literally have the simplest job in the school and yet they still don’t know how to do it. They’ll also constantly be extremely crabby, as if someone came in and ruined their whole week. They barely help the teachers (if even at all) and they only care about you if you’re the football team, the cheer team, the Indianettes, or the Stylemarchers. If you’re not any of those? They could genuinely care less about you. I, 100%, would have transferred to FWBHS if it wasn’t for the fact that I was a Stylemarcher. They also do not care one bit about your mental health and the only guidance/office person that cared is no longer there. They have never been open to parent-conferences unless your child has done something wrong. All in all, I can confidently say that the only things that were good about that school was the band and a handful of teachers.In conclusion, if you’re a parent reading this and are able to send your child to a different school, please do. Because Choctaw has become/is a very bad school and I wouldn’t even wish the torment of going there onto my worst enemies.

My child loves it here and I do too! Everyone at this school is so warm and friendly! I feel like they treat every child special, just melts my heart.A quick story...one day I dropped my son off and it was not the best morning (wasn’t listening and had a bad attitude) and the Resource Officer has seen my child always in the morning smiling and so she got down and just chatted and hugged my son. I was driving away smiling! What an awesome thing to notice he was having a bad day and helped him get out of his funk. It made me want to cry because it was such a small thing but made such a huge impact!

My child in 5th grade and he love this school so much he said he never want to go to any public school that has reset again instead of do PE they do ballet everyday and he absolutely happy with that also kids in this school had a good manner teacher and staff are great they recognized every child parents since school so small they spot are limited so it’s very hard to get in this school it’s for hard work children who can become a ballerina star in the future!!

This school is very bad. this school has good teachers but very bad leasons. it also has makes u do work 24-7 so thats slll i have to say
