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.

I had an enjoyable experience with Suncoast, I learned a lot from my classes and felt extremely well prepared for college as they offered various AP and honor classes.

Everyone has lunch at the same time. Can be overbearing sometimes. Teachers seems to come and and go mid year but that is probably everywhere in Florida.

Suncoast was very helpful in college preparation, the programs are very rigorous and it pushes every student with either AICE, AP, or IB credits, as well as required community service.

This is NATIONALLY RANKED. I'm a seventh-grader who wants to make it in the MSE Program: the big boi one( I'm a big boi). The other zone schools (Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary and JFK Middle) aren't good. By the end of 12th grade in this program, you finish Precalculus, AB calculus, DE Calculus 2/3...
