    "Wow, i am so suprised that people are really jumping on the bandwagon saying that IB is the only thing that is boosting the schools grades. I was in Health academy, and graduated with high honors. I knew plenty of general population graduates that did very well in school. Not because of any magnet program but because they had great teachers that care. My teachers at Pensacola High School really challenged me. They also made me want to be involved in extracurricular activities, and community service. If anything I feel like the IB program only causes division and a false sense of superiority (race/class/education). Only to disappoint the students involved in the program when they graduate because once again they are in "general population". One of my best friends went through this and she was totally burned out by the end of highschool. At least with the Health academy and law program, if you do decide to go into those fields it's considered practical experience and you have a leg up because you already speak the language. I even used my shadowing experience in health academy to get into P.A. School. No school is perfect, but I think this is a really great public/magnet school."

    "PHS isn't a bad school for Escambia County. I'm in the IB Program (and a black student) if you are a minority and decide to join this program (which is an excellent source for college prep) be ready for discrimination. Many of the students will be rich, white, and Republican. I felt more comfortable in regular classes for electives because unlike in IB classes, you didn't feel like you had to prove yourself to your classmates because you're a minority. I'm still going to stay (and recommend this program to other students) because of the great reputation this program offers."

    "I'm in IB, and I'm going writing about it and PHS. I hate PHS. With a passion. I'm tired of being pushed around and cussed at, hearing idiots in the halls screaming at each other. People fight over fried chicken for goodness sake! IB itself is wonderful, however. I love (most) of my teachers, even the GP ones. I enjoy the challenge of IB, but it can become overwhelming. I must say, though, that the Wikipedia page is true. IB was implemented as a last-ditch resort to save the school. I think that if the students themselves just cared more, maybe the school itself would be better. 'We' are currently a C school. Also, certain sports are good, others bad. Volleyball for me was terrible, but swimming was awesome! Also, I believe there should be WAY more parent-teacher-administration interaction/involvement. Lastly, the area IS very scary to be in every day. UGH."

    "I attend PHS. I am going to be an incoming junior. I am not in the IB Program. I am in the Law Academy. PHS, like all other schools, has its issues and flaws. Just because you are in IB doesn't mean that you are helping boost the school's grade. I found this out first hand. Many of the IB students that I know were placed in remedial reading due to LOW FCAT scores. So, this comes to show that IB isn't everything. I am an honor student. I have a constant GPA of 4.05 weighted. PHS had great teachers as well as students. Stereotypes and the school's location us what brings people to rough assumptions. PHS is a great school. The student just has to want to learn."

    "I graduated from PHS, was even in the IB program. Like any other school, PHS has its flaws. As many will attest, the IB program is indeed boosting the overall school grade. But its what any other city/state does with their lower grade schools to boost student morale and funding. If the school is dirty, then its your students who litter without care (including the IB students), if having a coach as a teacher isn't for you, then apply yourself and transfer to another class (I had the 'pleasure' of having a coach as a teacher for American History, by second semester he wanted to send me to the AP class but I just wanted a rather no-brainer class since nearly all my other classes where Honors or AP). As for the GE students pushing around the IB students, then its mostly because the IB students are too busy proclaiming they'rebet"
