School facilities are great, the available programs and electives very broad. Athletics represented well. Teacher quality is hit or miss. Have witnessed honors level teachers with very poor competency. About half seemed motivated to teach. Communication is still the weakest link in a public school environment, Palm Harbor and Osceola seem a bit above the rest. On campus pot smoking a concern for us.
I'm currently a student in the IB program. I recommend it to all students because the teachers really care. The students also care about their peers which I find helpful.
My son is starting the 10th grade at PHUHS in the IB program. We are both thrilled with the school. The instructors provide a challenge, yet are very caring and interested in helping the kids succeed. The school atmosphere is wonderful. He has made many friends and gotten involved in swim team, chorus and drama. I have also found the other parents (including those from the other non-IB programs) to be helpful and friendly. This is truly a top-quality, private school education available in the public school system.
We have two students at this school and we are generally pleased with their level of education. The majority of the teachers are on the ball but some don't provide even minimal feedback unless prompted by the administration. The sports programs in the school, like all schools these days are severely underfunded and the teachers who run them are usually overloaded. However, they do not do anything to try to groom students with intense interest and talent in a sport and who might need a nudge or a small show of interest from the coach. Coaches also require 120% effort and participation from students to their own academic detriment. Sports should be an activity that students can participate in through earned academic achievement.
