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.

This is my daughters 8th year at Palmetto Bays. The Teachers and staff are awesome. The Principal ( Ms. Slater ) is involved in all activities, she does a fantastic job ! I just love this school ! I wish they had 6-12 grades as well. I will be very sad to leave this school in June.

I'm a student here and i can say i have had an iffy experience, last year i got bullied a lot on the bus for the first few weeks and it just continued with the grade i was in. This year isn't any better. The bulling on the bus has stopped but the bulling online and during school is insane. online i got bullied for how i looked and acted and during school i get picked on for the littlest of things. i would not recommend you go to this school. the teachers are amazing but the students get to get their act together.
