Pensacola High School Reviews
Rating 3.66 out of 5 316 reviews
At Pensacola High School, students are offered 3 different programs to enroll in. Traditional, Academic Scholar, and IB Program. One of the things that stands out to me is how separated students in the IB Program are from all the other students. Additionally, considering that the IB Program is not easy to be in, we are given teachers that only make being in the program harder. Now, this does not go for all the teachers but this does apply to a good amount of teachers. It’s difficult to succeed in the IB program if we are given teachers who don’t aid in the road to our success!
Pensacola High School is an incredibly diverse and academically driven institution, teeming with bright students from various backgrounds. The school embraces a rich blend of diversity across individual talents, sports, music, and more. One of the most commendable aspects of the school is its unwavering commitment to providing students with a high-quality education, catering to their unique needs.
In terms of improvements, it's challenging to pinpoint a "worst" aspect about the school, given the positive experiences highlighted. However, there's always room for enhancement. It would be beneficial to consider improvements in areas like enhancing extracurricular opportunities or bolstering support for students facing specific challenges. This way, Pensacola High School can continue to evolve and provide an even more enriching educational experience for its students.

Some of the best parts of my experience at Pensacola High School have been within the Theater program at the school. The director has been nothing but kind and supportive to their students and continues to do so no matter the circumstance. The club/department has such a deep understanding for each other and stick together no matter what. Some of the worst parts have mostly involved the International Baccalaureate program at the school, but that was due to personal reasons. Something I would really like to see change at Pensacola High School is blurring the line more between the IB students and the traditional students because when I was in the program I often felt like I didn’t know who the traditional kids were and what they were doing.
