P.K. Yonge Developmental Research School is very unique. It is an extension from the University of Florida College of Education department. Classes are small but not overwhelming. There is lots of diversity in races and teacher at the school. Students are selected based on many factors. It is similar to a lottery pick with different demographics. Teachers are highly qualified. They not only teach students but also provide practical guidance. My school is considered a very prestigious institute in my city. It is almost like being in a private school but without the extra private school cost. P.K. Yonge is the place that allows me to show my better self. Our Performing Arts program is top notch. Many students come to the school just to be a part of it. It includes a theatre department and competitive ensembles. There is not much that I would like to see change about my school but but if there was one thing, it would be a little more involvement from school administration.
P.K. Yonge is a school that can help you develop skills for the real world. The environment that is surrounded by this school is astronomical. You have excellent teachers that will help you day and night whether it is in class or through emails they will make sure you get a full understanding on what is being taught to you. As well you have students that help bring the P.K community together. You have students who are apart of all different types of clubs such as the reading club, environment club, robotics, etc. There are so many different clubs that warmly welcome new students to be apart of. As well you have athletics, which is what helped me throughout my high school career. I met some of my closest friends because of the sports I play. P.K wants to make sure all kids feel included no matter the club or sport they play. This is what truly made my experience at P.K. Yonge so memorable.
P.K. Yonge is smaller than any other school I attended. At first it was extremely unfamiliar and I felt really out of place with how friend groups were already established and close knit- as it is also a K-12 school. Most of the kids here have been here since Kindergarten whereas, I've only been here since 7th grade. Nevertheless, I was brought into a friend group, and learned that smaller is better. Teachers aren't programmed to repeat the same things over and over. Instead, with smaller class sizes and block schedules, we're able to learn and really grasp the content which is what has helped me excell.
