Palm Harbor University High School - Medical Magnet

I was in the medical program and while it's a rigorous course and the education is good, the social factor is HORRENDOUS. A few examples: my sophomore year a group of seniors bullied two blind students by dressing up as them and mocking them for school pride- to my knowledge staff did nothing. Some people dressed up as "worker mexicans" and "Islamic terrorists" and one kid in my class just didn't wear a shirt. Again, staff did not care. The boy in my class was not called out by staff until 7th period. He was just told to put his shirt back on. The students here, from my and some others experiences, are very biased. While this bit doesn't bother me, it is sort of strange to me that there is a "Christian athletes club" in which you don't have to be an athlete apparently- more power to them I suppose and a "Day of prayer". Why religion is intertwined with school, I'm not sure. Nice place to go for education, but be sure to watch out if your kid isn't exactly like the rest of the kids in the school. Many students are also quite homophobic/racist, but that might just be a high school thing.

The staff is awful, the students are even worst. Everyone is very insensitive and a majority of students encourage drug use onto other students. Bullying is also very common unfortunately but the staff doesn't do anything. A friend of mine was reporting someone and the staff promised not to tell the reported student who reported them but they told anyways.

Great school! My son will be graduating this year from the IB program. He got admitted to MIT!!! We are all very happy! Teachers and classmates are awesome.

I can proudly say I can't wait till the new school year starts. I've enjoyed my first 3 years at PHU and I'm positive my final year will be just as great thanks to all of the wonderful staff.

Horrendous, the kids are awful and the teachers do nothing about it. Kids have literally smoked pot and done other drugs in front of teachers multiple times and haven't got in trouble. I guess it makes sense because they condone racist and hateful staff. The teachers aren't understanding either, a student messes up on one assignment and suddenly they're failing.

Good school, nice environment is what I liked. Teacher there are awesome.

Very nice school. Kept in better condition then other surrounding schools in the county

Some of the teachers were OK but most of them punish students who defend themselves, while allowing bullies to do as they wish.

I really like this school. Cuz it makes my dreams come true.

so far it's been the 2nd greatest school I've ever been in
