If the principal don’t like you as a student she’ll do whatever she can to get you kicked out of the school of if the principal see you getting all the spotlight at the school she’ll get you fired

When I was at Apopka high school, I was only there for three years, as I graduated early. I found there was a distinct lack of qualified educators, and a blatant disregard for student well-being. While I admit I had a few incredible teachers, that knew their subjects, and cared for their students, this was few and dar between. I had a math teacher who didn't even know the subject she was teaching and had to study it to teach us. I failed that class. I, on multiple occasions, was the subject to ridicule and harassment by other students, with concrete evidence (ex. A video posted making fun of me, on an account with the poster's name and face visible), however, every time I brought attention to these issues, nothing ever happened. Yet, I got detention once for being late to my first period because of my bus driver being late. The priorities of the staff are clearly crooked. On top of this, I was invested in an AICE diploma, yet it took three whole years of being there, mere months before my graduation, for my counselor to inform me that test scores coming through AFTER graduation, would mean I wouldn't get that diploma I took 8 Cambridge courses to gain, and I could either not get it, or attend school for another semester or another year. Between hostile students, an unwelcoming environment, underqualified teachers, and zero regard for student wellfare, this school is an absolute joke, and requires extreme revision. If you have any other choice, don't go to Apopka High.

My son's been here since kindergarten and he's in 5th grade now and the last 3 years have been a nightmare. They have been through so many principles and all the office people see a nightmare and one of the only good faculty member there that actually Advocates for the kids and families hates the staff and other employees so much she quit. Bullying is horrible and nothing is noticed or done unless you make a big deal about it. Dismissal is even worse the kids do whatever they want and that is when bullying is even worse. Just all around a horrific school there is a reason they are a 2 star school and have a 60% score for over all testing. I would find an alternative if at all possible and if not prepare yourself for yard times.
