My daughter has enjoyed being apart of CFHS. She has been able to do AP classes and honor classes that have challenged her in a rewarding way. These classes help get students ready for college level work, so even on her first day of school she has gotten homework or test prep in these classes. She also became apart of the marching band through colorguard which has been a great experience. This school has one of the biggest bands in the county putting them in a 4A class, they travel in and out of state to compete in fieldshows which the kids love. A new winterguard program started in 2021 and has already won a state championship which she has also enjoyed. This school is made for students to get involved. Students love the Friday nights at the football games so much that they have their own designated section in the stands, along with a dress theme each week. Many of their sports teams make the playoffs or championships and althetes get recognized. There is a large variety of school clubs to join even for kids with unique interests. Going to a show choir performance or musical play is like going to a professional show here, highly recommend you see their Christmas show. The kids that get involved seem to thrive here. It is a very large school so the campus is kind of set up like a college where you walk to multiple buildings for your classes. A lot of students are able to take certain electives during the summer, and start taking college classes for half the day senior year. Like any school, sometimes kids get into a fight or have a teacher they don't like. We have yet to have a bad experience with any of the teachers, in fact a few of them are actually alumni. This school uses metal detectors during arrival which we are seeing more in high schools to help with safety. We have never had an issue with the principal. She's firm but nice. If I had to list any cons they would be that the kids don't get to use lockers (something that seems to be happening more and more in high schools), the only dance they have is prom, traffic at the school can be crazy(more of a city issue), and kids don't get to leave for lunch(which I don't mind as a parent with all the crazy traffic, but I do remember how cool it was in high school). So just minor things. All in all we are happy to have chosen this school for our daughter.

We've loved Ocean Bay Middle for our son.

During the time that my two children attended ocean bay elementary school they grew in soo many ways. The teachers and staff were amazing! Everyone from the kitchen staff and janitors on up were fantastic. I would definitely recommend ocean bay elementary to anyone looking for a good school for their children!
