A awful experience. At best, it was average. If you want to finger paint until you’re almost a teenager and not learn a single thing, they sure go here. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it

I recently graduated from Seabreeze High School, and while there were some good teachers and experiences, there were also several issues that made the environment frustrating and unsupported for many students.One major concern was the rat problem in Building 14. Multiple parents had to repeatedly contact the principal and the county before any action was taken. While there was some improvement, the issue was never fully resolved, and rats were still present afterward. It felt like the administration saw partial progress and decided that was “good enough.”The administration overall often came across as unsupportive. When students asked for guidance or help, staff frequently acted as though students were inconveniencing them rather than genuinely trying to help.Academically, the school places heavy pressure on honors students to enroll in AP and AICE courses. If you decline, there can be continued pressure to reconsider. On the other side, students with lower GPAs or test scores often seem overlooked rather than supported, and many are encouraged toward local charter schools instead of being helped to improve.There are also issues with testing policies. Students in AP and AICE classes are still required to take regular state testing in addition to their AP or AICE exams, even when those exams can qualify for exemptions. Many students feel this is done to boost the school’s overall testing scores and rankings, which the school frequently promotes, rather than for the benefit of the students themselves. It creates unnecessary stress and contributes to a school performance image that does not fully reflect the student experience.Finally, unless you are part of the AICE cohort, the school does not seem very supportive of students pursuing dual enrollment opportunities.Overall, the school has potential, but there are ongoing issues with student support, administration responsiveness, and how differently students are treated depending on their academic standing.

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.
