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.

My overall experience with Palm Beach Gardens High School was surprisingly a very fun and memorable experience even though I was only there for a year. I met a lot of nice people, the activities were extremely fun, and to top it off there was a lot of drama. But overall, I had a good time there.

Some of the best experiences at Palm Beach Gardens High school had to do with there people I interacted with. I meet many different types of people some who I became very close with over the years. I also got a lot of opportunities because of not only the magnet program at our school but the Aice program. I earned two certification in my medical magnet and got my Aice diploma. Some of the bad experiences I had to do with the people I didn't really have much interaction with. My school is very diversity meaning there is a large range of students that attend and some are not as focused in school as I am. So this lead to a lot of conflict like distractions during class.

My best experiences so far at Palm Beach Gardens is the Medical choice program that they offer. Within the program I am able to go to be present and interactive at a hospital and learn the real thing and on-site learning. The worst part of attending Palm Beach gardens High School is the fact that they leave out important information that would be relevant to my education. Also the fact that the drama and fights have got out of hand and recently got demoted to a D school. I would like for the school to have better school lunch and better teachers.

I really love this school. They really care about me here and I’ve learned so much. I feel safe and noticed. Once, I started having a panic attack during a pep rally. I had met the principal probably one or two time a while before. I made eye contact and he immediately knew I was overstimulated. He...

Why anyone would make a statement about Dr. Hoffman like that with no explanation is beyond me. He has truly made a difference on campus, is caring, approachable, knows the students, and puts them first. As a parent, I am good with that. I have had several children attend Gardens and if you live in...

I go to Palm Beach Gardens and it's amazing! My magnet program (Global Business) is fun and you can learn a lot from there for the big world. The teachers and students are friendly and supportive in everything that a student may do.
