Newpoint Bay Charter High School

Wow. The quality of writing by the students and parents I see here is so impressive, it's as if the comments were all composed by one sound mind. I hope this is reflective of the school's influence - it permeates through the student and almost by osmosis to and through their parents. The future of education looks bright for Panama City. I would not be at all surprised to hear about a future Executive Director of Managing Operations Presiding Over Counsel and Regulations one day whom once graced the halls of this fine establishment.

This is an excellent school! I am a Newpoint student and feel that Newpoint schools have an amazing concept designed to create a learning environment for students who have a desire to succeed. The teachers are there for the students and aim to provide students with the fundamentals for learning and success. The school offers academic programs that are designed to challenge students at all stages of learning. Newpoint has a strong leadership base and is truly centered around the success of the students. I recomend this school to any student who has the desire to succeed and chooses to put their best foot forward!

This is my son's second year at Newpoint Bay. The staff and teachers are great, always willing to help in anyway. The curriculum is designed to prepare kids for college and independently working, being responsible and focusing on their future. Not all the drama that goes on at public high school either. I wouldn't send my child anywhere else.

My child attends Newpoint Tampa. The Apex curriculum can be hard to follow and the teachers don't give the students any tools to succeed with this curriculum. The extra curricular activities are practically non-existent and there is no choice of electives. The students have extremely limited freedom of expression. Overall this turns out to have been a poor choice for my child.

It's a great school, only reason it has low grades is because students are yet used to such schools, they are not used to this type of technology in schools yet, but the students that are love it!

This is a great school for any student! They are eager to learn here, and my kid actually wants to go everyday, so easy to make friends he says. So easy to get along. So nice of teachers. They really do help and you do learn at your own pace! - A parent of Newpoint Bay student

I honestly love the school I attend. Most students there may complain about having to look at a computer screen all day, but since our founding year, we have already fixed that issue. The teachers have more involvement in our classes, and there is less staring at the computer screen(although I really didn't find this an issue). The teachers really care about the success of the student and you can connect with your teachers and feel comfortable around them. They are always willing to help a student in need. The staff is great and always helpful. The students are great and there is no real 'cliques' and if they do exist , they only exist for short periods of time. Students can feel at home near their peers.

This is a school for students who are looking to do something with their future. My child is motivated and is preparing for college - this is the perfect school for her. Because it is a public school, many students try it and then leave because you have to have the smarts to make it here. That is what I love about it. The bar is high and that is the way all schools should be.

I think this is a great school! The kids who attend are top notch and college bound. The work is hard and it is teaching my daughter how to strive to be her best. The teachers are dedicated to the students. It is a small school and my daughter doesn't get pushed aside like she would at a big high school.

Newpoint is a very different school with a very different way of learning .... you stare at a computer screen all day and get a four minute break that hardly goes without interruption good teachers but terrible students its hard to learn by yourself i think that online courses should be left to colledge students i passed all classes with a's,b's,c's but on the fcat students overall scored a D???? doesnt seem like the very best choice... may get better but when ? it may be too late i would consider carefuly before sending your child to what used to be EBA (that is where they are moving the school).
