Beachside is a fantastic high school. The sports programs were solid and I had a great time as a student. I was part of the first graduating class, and I was able to hit the ground running with many student organizations. The teachers were all amazing and I formed close relationships with many of the faculty and staff. Everyone was always there to help students out with anything. I was initially hesitant transferring out of Nease and starting out at a brand new school, but looking back, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Beachside was a great high school experience and overall transformative in crafting me into the person I am today.

Excellent school with dedicated teachers. Students have lots of opportunities in didactic and athletics. Amazing principal Mr. B.
We were rezoned when school was built. I have seen it grow. Parent are invested equally in their child's education. My oldest graduated and is out of state with good scholarships. He appreciates the strong foundation he received at Beachside from teachers and counselors.
Second child still at Beachside. I would say, parents need to trust the teachers and not question their abilities. Very hardworking teachers at this school that go above and beyond. One of them is known to have review sessions on weekends before finals with pancake breakfast. They truly want your child to be their best. School also offer student tutoring through one of the many clubs. Many neighborhood kids have now graduated and are confident young adults ready to start their next chapter in life.

My son was miserable there. He failed miserably yet when we switched to Tocoi he’s magically doing great. He was out in a very scary situation with another student and nothing was done other than him being told he would be persecuted if he were to defend himself. I usually don’t write bad reviews but this is different.

The administration and staff don't pay enough attention to the students. There are constant fights that happen every day at the school. They have teachers there but never around when a fight breaks out. The administrator like to act like they care, but they really don't. The administration and staff really have let down the entire school. Students get bullied and harassed but no one cares about your child. I understand the school was built in 2022, but could we at least get a principal who isn't new and doesn't have the slightest clue on how to run and school or administration. I would definitely stay away from the school. This, by far, is the worst school in the St. Johns County area.

Pretty good school I go there and I think personally it's a good school. Everything is new and clean and they are not to strict which is nice. The teachers at the school are also very nice and kind and I would recommend Beachside Highschool.
