Atlantic High School

The teacher student ratio is wonderful, my child received one on one time with each teacher. The staff at Atlantic really care about each individual student!

This school is the absolute worse. I am in class right now, using the computer. Do you think the teachers care? NO they don't. The students are horrible, they pick & tease on kids that are different. Drug activity and poorly and skimpy dressed girl are all you will ever see here. They truly live up to their UNDERDOG reputation. I hate to admit that I go here.

My child has attended Atlantic High School for each of his 4 years. The staff has been nothing short of impressive. My son has participated in multiple sports and activities in which the Teachers have been supportive and the leadership there under Mr. Pagano has always been superb.

I love Atlantic High School! When my daughter 1st entered the school I didn't want her to attend the school, I was very unsure about the blocking program. After a few weeks of her attendance, she had blossomed. She couldn't wait to go to school and for her this was a major difference. She was on honor roll 3 out of the 4 semesters, something that had never happened to her before. She had teachers that took the time to make sure that she understood the math and never let her leave until she knew it. This is something that never happened even after years of paying tutors, she understood math and began to love it!! I also would like to say how much as a parent it means to see the principals standing out front welcoming the students as they approach the school.

Atlantic High School has been a nightmare! My son will not be returning to Atlantic High School. They've done enough damage.

I moved to Florida in 1997 from West Virginia and attended AHS. What a culture shock! The student diversity is great, but as with any 2000+ student high school, there are plenty of rotten apples. Atlantic offers a ton of extracurricular activities and venues for student exploration, but they don't advertise them as they should (for shy students like I was to get the nerve to join new clubs and events). Overall safety is good. They routinely bring bomb- and drug- sniffing dogs, keep suspicious activity in check, and have strictly upheld policies. I suggest AHS to anyone who wants a wide variety of opportunities to pursue. Parent involvement was minimal when I was there; it may have changed. Class of 2000!

we have a senior this year and a sophomore...atlantic has been a fabulous place..we have found the teachers extremely willing to communicate and help us...(.let's face it; if the child isn't completely willing to make his/her high school experience positive and obey the rules) it'll be difficult...as far as being prepared for college I feel completely confident..we were constantly urged to pursue harder and harder classes for that reason...this is an excellent school with great leadership and very, very innovative teachers.

Atlantic High School is a unique educational experience. Atlantic provides students a high quality education as well as excellent extracurricular activies. As a graduate of Atlantic, I strongly disagree with the critic who stated their family members were not ready for college. In my college experience thus far, I have found that the excellent teachers at Atlantic prepared me very well for college years. Atlantic also offers students a unique opportunity with the Academy of Law & Government as well as a new academy opening this year related to the field of education. Atlantic also has an outstanding principal, guidance department, and activities director. Go Sharks!
