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.”

My child has been in this school since Pre-K and I am so Thankful for all the wonderful opportunities my child has had with having an I.E.P and all the help that he has gotten throughout the years. Great teachers, staff and each year they try to come up with different methods to make the school safer for our Childrens and the car line to go by faster. I highly recommend this school to every parent in Orange County.

I’m writing this review to share my personal experience with what I felt were unfair punishments at this school. In one situation, I was disciplined simply for being present when two other students were horseplaying. I was not involved in their behavior, only a witness, yet I was still punished. That felt unreasonable and frustrating, as I don’t believe it was fair to hold me accountable for something I did not participate in.This experience made me feel that the disciplinary process can sometimes be inconsistent and unjust. I also found interactions with administration to be discouraging. When I tried to explain my side, I felt that my concerns were dismissed, and the responses I received came across as unhelpful and, at times, disrespectful.Overall, this situation left me feeling that students are not always treated fairly, even when they are not at fault. I hope the school can take steps to ensure that all situations are reviewed carefully and that students are treated with fairness, respect, and understanding.
