First coast is my first public school ex[erience. I would rate it overall 5/10, but only because of student culture. People at first coast don't know how to talk it out with each other. Instead the resolve stuff with their fists. There are also a lot of rules at Coast that don't make any sense for me a student. You cannot have your headphones in your ear when you are transitioning through classes, you cannot have your phone out either. I really don't understand this because you aren't allowed to be on your phone or have headphones in class and you only have about 30 minutes in lunch. I would recommend First coast if you like that sort of culture, or want a lax school with some good teachers. If you want to really be challenged I would suggest a magnet school. For me mental health is really big and being in the right mindset, I can be mentally happy at Coast while as if I went to a Magnet school I would probably be depressed.
So far I have had an overall great experience at First Coast High School, I enjoy the diversity of students and the great staff at the school. Each and every last administrator at First Coast pushes every student to excel in whatever it is that they are doing wether it’s after school activity, sports, but most importantly our academics. Starting since my freshman year I have been on the football team, enrolled in AVID, as well as 5000 Role models of excellence. As I mentioned the 5000 Role Models of Excellence, First Coast offers many different after school activities and programs to keep you active and familiar with what’s going on at school. If I go back in time to my freshman year, I would have signed up for every single after school program I was eligible to do, plus it looks even better on your transcripts when applying yo college for them to see you active in programs such as these attempting to make a big change on not only the school but the world!
Freshman year: It's either join or risk starting off slow. I recommend joining a club or sport. You get adjusted to the crowd and avoid the infamous "Clocktower". That is a place where you can either make yourself or get influenced.
Sophomore year: Same but at some point, you should have joined something or made yourself close with a teacher or staff. Keep going you're already a survivor of the first year.
Junior year: Your last two years were either good or bad. Your grades should be good despite this school being better in athleticism over academics.
Senior year: Enjoy the year!
