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 a great experience with teachers, friends, and clubs at my high school. The school has a rich history and tremendous school spirit. This history includes 4 generations of graduates in my family and has a connection with many in the community. I felt challenged and learned a great deal during my time there. I had supportive teachers and several great friends.

After attending this school for 4 years I can say my experience has been a good one. I have had many opportunities such as taking dual enrollment classes and being able to be part of a wonderful art program. The school is also very beautiful as it underwent many big changes in the last couple years. However, I will say that some things can improve. A revamp of the bathrooms would be great as they look rough. I believe the diversity in the school could be better.

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 I’m 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.
