GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

the best of my experiences at Gulf Coast High School was that there is a friendly environment and it is straightforward to talk to people and make friends. I loved how there are so many extracurricular activities to do and how they can start developing you for a brighter future. And I think the worst is the counseling department, they do not look for solutions for students' issues, and just expect them to solve everything by themselves, even if the child has less access to relevant information than the actual counselors, who should be people that are specialized on this topic.

Gulf Coast is a great school especially for the area. They definitely have the stereotype of rich white kids. With that comes decent academics, but little diversity and not the greatest sports teams while having an insane budget that's been floundered on programs no one really uses. Overall, its a pretty great school. It gets the job done.

The school offers lots of sport and music opportunities however academics are completely shuffled every single school year. Teachers are moved in and out of schools yearly making the academics very inconsistent.
