My kids have been at the school for over five years now, and they thrive. We were originally zoned for somewhere else and I got a variance to go here because I was so impressed with the atmosphere and overall community of the school. There is some kids that are not the best, but I think you’re gonna find that anywhere. There’s always a couple that makes things harder for other students but overall it’s positive children with understanding parents. I drive very far into the school every day even though the school next to me has technically a higher grade because I know it’s worth it for my children to be here.

This is without a doubt the worst school i had the GREATEST displeasure of attending. It’s unorganized, unprofessional, and overall no bueno. I started attending my sophomore year and hated it so so much i knew i had to graduate early and so i did. Theres not a single staff member, teacher, or administrator that knows anything; for example if u ask if the schedule was changed or where seniors go for the walkout THEY WILL SAY IDK ASK SOMEONE ELSE. They took a whole school year to upload my transcripts on their system EVEN THO I HANDED IT TO THEM BEFORE THE SCHOOL YR EVEN STARTED so i guess they threw it away or lost them i dont know, but regardless, i should not have to march down to the counselors office week after week (because they will NOT reply to any emails and if they do they will not answer whatever u email them) just for them to upload my transcripts. Furthermore the staff is extremely unprofessional, of course its not all of them, but most if them act like students themselves, especially around student athletes. And today, on my last day of school, when i was supposed to the the walk/clapout i couldnt even be a part of it bc of how organized this school is. They kept me in the pac along with a group of other seniors who WITHOUT telling us why all the while the senior walkout was taking place. It wasnt until i decided to js leave along with a handful of other seniors that i finally headed outside to the courtyard js to see that the clap out was already over. The one time i wanted to participate in this school, the one time i had any sense of school spirit and i couldnt even be a part of it because of how damn unorganized this school is. This school doesn’t teach u anything about college, scholarships, how to apply for anything, nothing. And as an early graduate i didnt even get to take the SAT because the day seniors took it they said “youre a senior so you cant take it” but then i told them “im technically a junior but wtv, when can i take it as a senior?” They said seniors already took it. So that was it. No sat for me. This is the worse school to still be running and even the teachers agree.

The faculty here doesn’t care about the safety of your children. They don’t follow Florida state policies on bullying. They don’t follow through with anything unless you chase them. I wouldn’t send my kids here unless you want them to get bullied and assaulted, and then when your kid turns for safety from a member of the faculty. They’ll be told to write a report and then turned away and sent back to be in the presence of the person that was bullying or assaulting them until one of their lazy staff members decides that they’re gonna review the footage and speak to witnesses and by the time that happens, your kid is getting assaulted again by the same student. They would rather make your child “the victim” feel like the problem, then fix the problem.
