Professional & Technical High School

I used to be a student at this school. It's definitely a great environment. Like all schools, it's not perfect, but generally the teachers and staff are very friendly and willing to help. The school buildings are fairly well-maintained. It's quite small compared to most high schools, and as a result you feel more connected with your fellow students. So overall, it's a nice place to be. That being said, the ranking is slightly misleading. Because it was so highly ranked, I came to this school with high expectations, the most important being that I'd be thoroughly challenged by my coursework. However, that was not the case at all. I found that the rigor of this school was akin to that of an average high school, even with the block scheduling. I took all honors classes (as well as a couple AP classes) and found that, although it appeared to be difficult if one only went by quantity, it was very simple busy work. I do recommend this school over the traditional high schools in the area, but if you're a student who thrives when given higher-level coursework and want to come here in order to get it, you are going to find yourself disappointed, and may quickly become bored in classes.

I am a student at TECO/PATHS and I think it is great. The teachers are amazing and they treat us like adults because we go to an adult school. We have been an 'A' school for a long time because we work hard and behave well.

The school itself is a good school. The assitant princlpe is really good. The staff at the technical and the highschool could handle certain things better. I had a problem with one of the technical teachers and the staff didnt do anything to help all they told me was to change techs. The teacher did not have any discpline.

I went to this school and absolutely loved it. I was the first class to graduate having been there all 4 years. I must say, if you want to send your child there, it is a great school and they will learn so much!

This is my son's 2nd year at this school, he loves it and as parents so do we. He is studying business computer, and hopes to become a computer game designer, and with what he is learning from this wonderful school and it's wonderful teachers I know he will be a great success in his future field of computers.

This is a very good school. I love the way the teachers work with each individual student and make sure that every one understand's a subject before moving on. They also help every student to learn leadership skills and treat them like adults. It is proven in this school that the students are more mature than most other public schools in osceola county because they are in a real job atmosphere and around 'working' adults.
