Port Saint Lucie high school is a school filled with students carrying various all-around potentials, academically we are thriving approximately 91.77% graduation rate, becoming an A school. Port Saint Lucie High school faculty and staff is severely well-rounded treating students as if it was their own. I am a proud jaguar! our sports team is beyond competition with our golfers placing 2nd in state wide national tournament as well as our bowling team being named undeated. Our jaguars have graduated with 31 student graduating with their A.A degree . Aacdemically we are set!
My experience at Port Saint Lucie High School (PSLHS) was short of educational. While some of the teachers that I had were competent in their field, most were not even certified in what they taught. Luckily, PSLHS offered Dual Enrollment at the local state college, AP courses and of course the International Baccalaureate courses. Getting into the higher level classes allowed me to move passed the teachers that were not competent.
Another problem I saw during my time at Port Saint Lucie High School was the poor allocation of funds. While I watched the school pour its money into the sports programs, which were sub par, I struggled to find scientific calculators needed for classes. I observed many professors having trouble performing simple task's that are crucial for education just because the school wouldn't purchase the materials needed. I think this is a reflection not just on the administrators at the school, but the county, state and federal governments educational system.

Port St. Lucie High School is definitely not the perfect school. It's not THAT bad but it's not exactly good. It needs to be completely knocked down and rebuilt. There is not even one window in the whole school. What if there was a fire? How would we all get out, when we have fire drills the hallway is so packed that you can't even move. It is INFESTED with millipedes and it is absolutely disgusting! The students aren't that nice and there is one teacher that falls asleep during class. The dress code is ridiculous! The bad kids wear whatever they want and don't get in trouble but the good kids have to go along with the dress code because they don't want to chance getting in trouble. So, pretty much, the good kids have a HORRIBLE dress code! Whereas, the bad kids, wear whatever they want, whenever they want. This school needs some major changes!
