Sending my daughter to Center Academy has completely changed her relationship with school. Her…read moreanxiety, which once made mornings and after school time overwhelming, has significantly decreased because she feels understood, supported, and safe.

There are two distinct sides to this school, one being amazing and the other being…read moreless-than-desirable. As a teacher who worked at Pinellas Secondary School, the workplace environment was very positive. The principal and assistant principal are marvelous people. It shocked me how close I got to them and how comfortable I was with them. This is usually not the case at most schools, as principals feel the need to assert distance between them and the teaching staff as an eye roll-worthy attempt to maintain some semblance of a pseudo-hierarchy. It was the total opposite here: Mr. Hammond and Mrs. Ramdohr were very approachable, kind, helpful, and caring. The staff in general is exceedingly familial here. Employment at PSS truly felt like working alongside a community of friendly neighbors. The students are another story. I'd say parents absolutely should NOT send their children here, but they really don't have much of a choice if their child committed a serious violation. The HS students are usually pretty well-behaved and polite, since they want to transition back to their original school. The middle schoolers on the other hand are the worst children I've ever seen in my entire adult life. Not only are the hideously immature, but they are toxically hateful to boot. They fight nearly every single day, they do not respect authority at all, they steal without a second thought, and they populate 3/4 of the school. As a teacher considering working here, I'd say do yourself a favor and refuse to teach the middle schoolers. INSIST on teaching high school and you'll probably love your job. All in all, I'd absolutely come back and work at Pinellas Secondary School, provided I got to choose which students I worked with.

As a member of the Alumni Board who had received full academic scholarships to three top 20 colleges and universities, BA, Davidson College, MDiv and ThM, Duke University and PhD abd*, U of Notre Dame, I can personally attest that Shorecrest prepares its students to be the absolute best in their field whether it's theater (e.g. actor Patrick Wilson), higher education, business or military. Shorecrest promotes both academic excellence and innovation and is well worth the investment.

I've never been happier. My daughter started her 3rd Grade year at St. Paul and was the "new kid"…read moreas she puts it. We were both quickly embraced into the community of the school. The families and staff are extremely supportive, warm and genuinely friendly. I love the enrichment offered to Elementary students with Technology, Spanish, Art, Music, PE, Religion, Library and the Accelerated Learning Program as additions to the regular school day for students prior to Middle School. There are many wonderful opportunities for enrichment after school as well such as Drama Club, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Mad Science and several team sport choices. The small community helps your child achieve mastery quickly and feel confident in their environment. The school truly has the recipe for emotional and academic success for children. Thank you St. Paul for nurturing my little girl every day.
