This school likes to pepper spray crowds of innocent students, happened multiple times over the years. Also they do not allow food from outside restaurants, such as Subway, in lunch boxes. They say it’s competition against school food. Oh and their band teacher was a pedophile, Robert Hamberg
The school looks good, but the only problem is that the school is kind of close to the road and I'm worried about my kids running onto there and getting hit. If the road gets moved, I will give this school 5 stars.
We love CCPS.GulfCoast High is awesome The band alone is so unique! So grateful to be a part of it all.
I read a review stating that the children were from millionaire families. That is not true. All three of my children attended Gulf Coast High School starting in 2004 to present. We are a middle income family. You get out of it what you put into it. There are diverse groups of kids. The band is amazing. They offer a large array of classes. AP, AICE, honors, regular and remedial classes. There are focuses in culinary, medical, engineering and sports acedamy.
Great school. Fun marching band.
This was a very pleasant campus to attend.
The students are the privileged children of millionaires who drive $50,000 cars to school. And that's where the problem starts, because the children of "middle class, or working class" parents are basically considered rodents that must be exterminated. My group of friends, were constantly harassed by the officers on campus, simply because we were not the "standard" rich little white kids. The first day of school, within a few hours of stepping foot on the school grounds the police officers assured me and my friends that we would not be there for long. And they were true to their promise to find a way to exterminate us from participation in an education. However, I Thank them from the bottom of my heart because thanks to their hate I was able to get a good footing in life early. I bet I got more on my taxes this year than any of those teachers who told me "you will never be anything" but not with concern, but with a evil grin. Thank you all.
Gulf Coast high is a great school, although I can say that it has declined a little bit this 2013-2014 school year. I'm going to assume that it is because there are a couple of new teachers with not much experience and there was a principal change. But in general, it provides a safe environment and a rigorous academical course. It offers many AP and Honors classes. The only problem I seem to have had in this school is my counselor. She is very incompetent and I have had a couple of problems in my schedule and have missed the chance to take some important classes thanks to her careless attitude and expecting others to solve problems that are her job. If you go to this school, you'll know that a lot of people who have had Ms. Wessman wish they could get another counselor. Nonetheless, the rest of staff and school is very good.
