My child got kicked out for some days and they didn't do anything wrong the lunch also sucks and I know this isn't technically only the schools fault but I think the dress code should be less strict cause shoulders are not distracting and let me get this straight if it's 100+ degrees out I'm not telling my children to go to school or anywhere in a hoodie and sweatpants children should be able to express themselves in their own way by letting them wear clothes that have designs bigger then 3 inches I absolutely think they should be able to have designs and the school colors suck only good color is White blue and orange suck do better please.

Great Teachers and staff. Bay County stepped it up in the last couple of years with their investment in the classroom. Students are using the latest technology creating a more hands on learning environment for the students.

My son went to this school in 8th grade 2 years ago and did great. He was in the advanced program and the teachers are excellent some of them are the best in the district! My daughter has been going to this school for 3 years and is also in the advanced classes. She loves her school (except lunch - the food is terrible and not orderly). The advanced teachers are excellent. The principle keeps the kids in line with strict but fair rules and takes care of the occasional problem. She runs a tight ship, which is a good thing at this age! The iffice staff and counselors are also helpful and nice.
