Pine Ridge High School located in Deltona, FL has been the best 4 years of experiences and growth. Being at this school 7 hours a day for 4 years it has grown into my home and the staff is family. As I go off onto another journey of life I am taking all the memories, knowledge and strength I have gotten since being here. It is truly a wonderful school with so many amazing teachers that love what they do and are great at it! With all the clubs and extracurricular activities theres no time to be bored at school. Being at Pine Ridge I have woken up everyday excited to go learn new things and accomplish new goals!
Overall, it is a pretty decent high school if you’ve never been outside of Volusia County, but compare to other schools From Florida, they fall short in providing a wide range of classes, clubs and programs, they only cover the basics of those areas.
I transferred from a different high school in South Florida and I was surprised that they didn’t have any of the new programs that many other county schools provide.
Teachers are really good in this area, it’s just that the class size makes it difficult for them to control, we’ve had about 40 students in an average class and teachers usually had trouble making everyone pay attention.

As a high school freshman, I have spent 7 years in the Volusia County School system, and I have enjoyed my experiences overall. Specifically, I like how the VCS system has handled the COVID-19 situation and dealt with the new circumstances. VCS has ensured that all students get the opportunity to learn at home or in school, with Volusia Online Learning. All students have also been provided with their own district-issued laptops, through Volusia County Schools. As for COVID-19 precautions inside of school, VCS has done a good job of keeping things regulated, such as mandating masks and keeping utilities sanitary. Also, even through the pandemic, VCS has managed to safely continue high school sports, allowing Volusia County Schools students to connect with others in the district. Additionally, my experience with Volusia County Schools has shown me that VCS has a lot to offer, as far as school programs, high level classes, and extracurriculars.
