The school spirit is so present here, my youngest son is was an IB student here and I feel that his high school experience was wonderful and also prepared him for college. Wonderful to see teachers and assistants that enjoy teaching, it does make a difference

St. Petersburg High School is NOT a great school. There are so many problems with this school. Bullying and fights are a constant occurrence. As a parent, I am so disappointed in this school and Im currently looking into other school options for my child.

I was a student at this school two years ago and I must say, out if the 5 schools I've been to in my life this was my favorite. The teachers respect the students and it's reciprocated.

I was in the IB program and had an immensely rewarding time in high school. IB students and teachers are great, passionate people to be around.

I am a parent of a 10th grade IB student. We gave been very impressed with the quality of the educators and rigorous, challenging academics. Based on college acceptances of recent graduates, I feel my son will be well - prepared to continue his education at the next level. There are also many opportunities for extracurricular activities like clubs, sports and music. Love the school spirit too!

This school is NOT a "great-school" at all and believe me when I tell you. My child came home crying every day. The school grade may be good , but teacher-student interaction is unsatisfactory. Also, the children in the school, bully . Ive had 3 children attend this school, and they all came back with bad reports. One of my children went to Boca Ciega High , and came back with better and higher spirits then what she has now. I do admit there is alot of school spirit , but they should focus more on academics then sports.
