    "First of all, I realize no school is perfect, however after hearing how wonderful Suncoast was I could have not been more disappointed. The reason the school is so highly rated is because of the students, definitely not the teachers. They pull from the top 5% in PBC and so test scores should be high. Beware, if your child falls behind due to illness/absence, don't expect encouragement from teaching staff - they will squish your child like a bug and even tell them they are not college bound. Teachers should raise self-esteem, seems the opposite here. A GC told me that teachers don't answer parent calls in a timely manner and I should call the principal to complain, don't expect much in the way of communication. Big disappointment. Pulled out and now straight A's in same academic classes and much happier. Also, no longer a fear of the neighborhood, my child actually saw drug dealings through the bus window. Had a letter home with warning not to drop off on a certain road adjacent to the school and then a lock-down due to gunfire, nice eh. Glad we are out of it."

    "I am a previous student from Suncoast that moved to South Carolina. Yes, Suncoast is every challenging but also very helpful. You can't find any better school than Suncoast. The teachers are very hard and stay on top of you, but when you apply for this school who have been ranked in the top 3 in the nation you should expect it. Don't apply because you think it will look good for college. Because Suncoast can do two things for you give you an amazing gpa to get into ivy league colleges or give you a terrible gpa to get you barely in community college. I loved Suncoast and all the work that came with it. It's a school for driven and smart people. Don't expect to go there and no be serious about you work because they will kick you out and not think twice about it. If you're very smart driven and have a passion to learn, this is the school for you."

    "I attended the open house with my son for CS and Engineering. My son is 13 and he has been learning computer programming during all his years in middle school. My son plays Tennis and all his hitting partners who entered Suncoast in 2011 have stopped playing Tennis. Why? I heard those kids are overwhelmed by homework. I also heard the teachers don't teach, they only give assignments and the kids are on their own. During the open house the CS teacher acted too 'casual' and when I asked him 'how come you are teaching the same C++ course for 11 years when the IT world changes every day' his answer was 'because that is all I know ... C++'. I was very disappointed. Then we attended the Engineering presentation and I had a chance to ask the teacher a question (my English is not the best), he then asked the audience of 100+ parents 'can somebody translate that for me?' embarrassing ... at the end some of the parents that talked to me after presentation had the same opinion, these teachers are only focused on keeping certain number of students to keep their budget."
