Works Here: SCFCS offers an academically focused and supportive environment that prepares students to complete both a high school and Associate in Arts degree by the time they graduate. Students can also continue their education at one of SCFCS's partnership institutions and complete a tuition-free Bachelor's degree. Such an amazing opportunity! The best part of working at SCFCS is that teachers and staff have the opportunity to spend a lot of time getting to know each of their students. That is because teachers also serve as academic coaches and help students to prepare for higher education and life beyond academia. There is an entire academic class period each day devoted to coaching. Therefore, the student-teacher relationship is excellent as teachers get to know each of their students well, both inside and outside of the classroom. Therefore, each student feels a sense of belonging, purpose, accountability, and care at SCFCS. That is the key to student success at this school.... Read 6 reviews

Niche User: Being able to grow up in such a place as Lakeland has always had it's ups and downs, however, that doesn't mean I would ever choose someplace else to live. Despite it's relative size and growing dimensions, the city has kept its relative charm and added more to it while I've been living here. While it's not the best when it comes to each and every category when it comes to standards of living, crime, or opportunities for those exiting high school and heading on their way to college, it has provided me with the means of finding outside benefits and getting me to a place where I can take up a higher means of education and learning. A lot of great people have come out of this place, and I just hope I can become one of them.... Read 9 reviews

Niche User: The atmosphere in Downtown Lakeland in unbeatable, you have a park, a historic feel, and fine food locations located all in one area. Not to mention you are right between Tampa and Orlando, perfect placement for avid theme park fans. Due to this, I would live here again! The only downside is you don't get to see the snow or the leaves change colors, however that doesn't mean you can't vacation to other places, and then you don't have to shovel snow or rake leaves....

Niche User: Winter haven is a small town, but it will always feel like home. New businesses are being added everyday; places to eat have increased tremendously in the past 2 years. Some parts of the town still need work, but mostly everything is getting better. There are wonderful lakes that everyone enjoys in the summer! Legoland just came in about a year or 2 ago and it has brought in a lot of business to this small town. Downtown used to have very few places to go, but some of the best restaurants have moved in and very cute stores have been added.... Read 16 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in Bartow my whole life and it has definitely grown on me. I see the improvements Bartow is making to create a better place to live. Bartow is embracing newer businesses such as different types of food and we even have a wicca store now! I can tell the town feels younger and brighter than just 10 years before and it is really starting to blossom. Some improvements that can still be made are backing public schools in this area. The public schools still need a lot of love! Nightlife could be so much better by allowing more fun locations such as movie theatres or pool halls to open up. I can count on one hand how many things there is to do here on a Friday night. We can also start opening health food stores or more healthy eating options such as Fresh! or organic food marts....

Current Resident: What can I say about Mulberry, its hard to find on a map and mostly unheard of because its big brother Lakeland gets all the attention, but this city is Amazing. Neighbors are incredible and friendly. It is safe and lots to do if you don't like the hustle and bustle of the big city, but need its conveniences. I didn't know what to expect when I first moved here, then I stepped outside and BAAMMM!!! "Hello, Neighbor" pure awesomeness. This city is amazing with the warmth and friendliness of everyone. Definitely, an amazing area to call home, raise a family, and be happy. The city is also growing quickly which is also awesome. #LovingMyCity... Read 19 reviews

Current Resident: I love Auburndale for numerous reasons. I love how it is quiet and peaceful. I also love the people here because they are so nice and caring. My neighbors are amazing people that I have come to know and I consider them family. As for the schools, the faculty and staff are all wonderful people who truly care about helping their students exceed. My only problem regarding schools is some of the students affect the schools negatively. It is not the school's fault rather some students ruin everything for others by their behavior. Besides this, I love how I can make my courses as rigorous as I want it to be for me. As for convenience, it is best to have a car to travel to places, and to get to major areas it requires quite a drive, which can still be enjoyable, as Auburndale is rather small. Overall, Auburndale is a wonderful place and while it may not be perfect, it is still one place that is close to it!... Read 80 reviews

Former Resident: It’s the perfect place to raise a family and retire. It’s more lively than a lot of small-towns in Florida. It is home to Polk State College, Warner University, & Webber University which gives it a slight college town vibe. It has Bok Tower Gardens, Lake Kissimmee State Park, and one town away from Legoland, which gives it a touristy international vibe, along with the small town everyone knows everyone vibe. It’s also only about 40 minutes away from Orlando in Central Florida, and roughly an equal distance from both the Gulf Coast and East Coast. Also couldn’t ask for warmer weather lol...

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 52 reviews
