10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is brutal. The theme should be- you don’t matter. I’m sure this school is great if you’re the top 2% but for the rest of the students it is a dog fight. Behavior problems aren’t dealt with, so the same students disrupt class repeatedly.Parent Review1mo ago - Steinbrenner High School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved here 2 years ago and specifically chose our home around the Steinbrenner HS attendance zone. Steinbrenner is a highly regarded school in the Tampa Bay area. I am so glad we chose Steinbrenner for my son to finish his high school years. Coming in as a junior he was welcomed by his peers and has made amazing friendships through this school. The teachers and staff have been amazing with getting him acclimated and have always been available to answer any questions. Coming from a rigorous curricullum in Illinois, he has felt equally challenged here and made great strides. The communication and guidance at this school have been excellent! Go Warriors!Parent Review3y ago
