Patel High SchoolHillsborough County Public Schools, FL·9-12·Rating 4.21 out of 5 33 reviewsSophom*ore: I can tell you that this school is amazing. This is the fifth school year. This school is a PBL school meaning that it is project based learning school. They have an Aice Cambridge program which is similar to an IB program. I recommend applying for this program if you are planning to attend Patel high school. This school is a lottery school meaning you have to apply to get accepted. The facility is very helpful and really supportive. Patel high school provide many sports such as Volleyball, Basketball, Soccer, Swim, Cross country, and Cheer. We are planning to have more sports throughout the years such as tennis, track and many others. We have more than 50 clubs. This school provides many volunteer opportunities and clubs such as: Steering, Key club, and Junior Civitain which are clubs that students can join to earn volunteer hours. They provide a rare school menu serving Chick-fill-a, Subway, and Marco pizza throughout the week. I definitely recommend this school!...

- #124 Best Public High Schools in FloridaBell Creek Academy High SchoolHillsborough County Public Schools, FL·9-12·Rating 3.81 out of 5 58 reviewsAlum: There are a lot of teachers that only work there to get enough experience to leave. Overall everything is improving since its only been established for 10 years, but I think there definitely should be better planning for testing and more resources available to students. While I recognise that some sites are blocked to increase productivity, I think the administration should realise that the students who want to slack off will always find a way. Blocking the websites often made it harder to find resources for essays and research. Also its crazy that they don't have a gymnasium, auditorium, nor a library. I understand on the gym and auditorium end, but they should definitely consider making some sort of library room. I think a lot of teachers that work there long term and wish to continue working there, though, definitely made the school the quality that it is for clubs and sports and sense of belonging. But the planning and scheduling sucks. Not many oppurtunities you can get from BCA....

- #126 Best Public High Schools in FloridaTampa Bay Technical High SchoolHillsborough County Public Schools, FL·9-12·Rating 3.89 out of 5 675 reviewsSophom*ore: My school is amazing I appreciate all of the opportunities I get, my school can be very helpful when it comes to academics they helped me earn a 4.1 and a principles honor roll award, The food is pretty good as well they make sure to take good care of their students and the teachers can be very helpful, they always allow each student to get one on one teaching and they allow tutoring which is awesome. For example, everyday before school I would go visit my math teacher Mr. Sampson for help because I was struggling in Geometry, he helped me score a 5 on my Math EOC! My school guided me with a smooth transition between middle school to high school. The only thing that I would change about my school is the campus, this is because we have an outdoor school so most of the time there grows mold or dirt when it rains, but I definitely would highly recommend Tampa bay technical to any other middle schoolers or upcoming freshman for an amazing memorable experience !...

This allows great connections between students and teachers. However, the school goes through teachers like crazy. Teachers come and go, and if you're lucky, a teacher will stay for more than two years. One year, the school went through 3-4 English teachers in ONE YEAR.

Most staff members hated their jobs and a few of them were discriminating minorities. Not only was I miserable there but my grades where the worst. I knew I was smart but I just lacked motivation, motivation that strawberry crest students and staff members could not provide. But in my sophom*ore year I was offered to relocate at Simmons career center, I was a little spectacle at first but I started to get to know the staff members and students. As I got to know them I realized that this school fits me more, all of the teachers here are exceptional.
