Horrendous school for a child. The principal Donald Vega comes across as friendly but he’s not wanting to help the children. He doesn’t care about what’s best for them. My son cries every time he has to go to this school. The bullying is out of hand and the teachers do not care if the children learn or are struggling. These teachers only want to quit and don’t want to be there. The teachers rushing the kids to do the school work instead of helping them understand. The open house was a disaster, every year the principal before Donald Vega was so kind and considerate for parents that work but this year 2025 he chose to start 1:30pm right in the middle of the day. So many parents couldn’t go, so heartbreaking that here comes a new principal Donald Vega making changes for him. He also has a breakfast for ONLY fathers smh, not every child has a father but he’s arrogant and doesn’t care about this community. I will never participate and support a breakfast that is ONLY for fathers. Be careful with this school, if he’s the principal., save your children from this school. The children and parents need to be supported.

La experiencia ha sido realmente buenas, en la oficina son amables y mi hijo está realmente entusiasmado con cada día al aprender más , hay una comunicación muy buena con sus profesores, realmente hay muy buena comunicación entre la escuela y el hogar mi hijo tiene necesidades especiales y está siendo muy bien atendido, el director y su equipo realmente se están esforzando por un excelente ambiente en su campus y atención con las personas que llegamos a la escuela con dudas sobre diferentes temas. de nuestra parte la experiencia ha sido excelente !

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.”
