Very disorganized , unprofessional,rude people at this place.Very sad to think we citizens pay to hire unqualified people to intimidate parents and their children. No accountability from anyone there.

Overall happy with the school. Wished that my daughter' s teacher would have recommended moving her up in her math since she already knew all of it. Had mentioned this at the beginnning of the school year but didn't get anywhere. More fun activities for the students since they work hard. Thank you to all the wonderful teachers who are under paid for what they go through. 'Thank you' for teaching you all make a difference in our childrens lives.

I have been attending Treasure Coast for 3 years. I have watched so many improvement in teachers, teaching, and in the atmosphere, this year being the first class of true Titans the spirit is at all time high. There will always be room for improvement. Some teachers care and others just dont give diddly squat whether you come or not, while others are there for you on and off the feild persay. Sometimes we know the Dress Code Nazis can be a little to much, but when you got a problem they are there. The teachers could be better instead of 'your in honors you should know this' sometimes we just need a little refresher. Some need to turn on their lights for a day and wake some kids up, while others need to teach. But this school is a great school with a lot of potential.

I adore this school! On my first day, I was completly terrified... The school was so big compaired to my last one. When I walked into the Cafeteria, Mama H said 'We are a family!' At first I didnt believe her, but as time passed, what she said became a reality. I am a Freashman otherwise known as 'Freashmeat' and I'm extreamly pleased to tell my Centennial friends that I am a proud Titan!

I am currently attending Treasure Coast hs, and i must say that this is one of the greatest schools. They care about dress code but there not going to bury you in referals about it. I currently am in JROTC, my teachers are great, the staff is great, and mainly everyone is so helpful, also they keep the freshmen/soffmores, away from the juniors/seniors, this also helps alot.

I have found that some, not all, of the teachers and some of the faculty are not very helpful when dealing with students. They expect the students to follow rules but do not follow their own rules. Many of the teachers are not motivated to teach and would rather criticize the student and make them feel poorly about themselves rather than reach out a helping hand. Motiviation is the key to success and I the teachers should focus on that thought.

TCHS is great. I especially like the AICE program. The administrators are always ready to help you in whatever issues you are facing. But one of its downs includes the infamous Culminating Project. (Everyone hates The Culminating Project). While i like TCHS, i think the school could do more to assist seniors and even juniors in preparing for college.

I'm about to be a sophmore this year. This school is amazing. Like all the schools in Port St. Lucie, the teachers are a little careless. Other than that, I feel like I'm in a very safe environmet here.

Look. We all know that Treasure Coast HS is not the best school around, and it has its vices. But let's face it. YOU'RE IN PORT ST. LUCIE. Quite frankly, out of all of the schools here, TCHS is the best choice. I will be a senior @ TCHS this year and it's not all the bad. But today's typical teenager wants to gripe and complain about everything, so of course they are going to have apparent issues with dress code among other things. I do, however, agree that the staff and teachers could put forth a LOT more effort with thier students. Especially the upperclassmen. They help you as scarcely as possible. Basically throwing you out to the gators, so to speak. The school has great curriculum though, and room for improvement. I like it here. But, i wouldn't make it my first choice!

I Love this School! Yes the dress code is awful, but the teachers I had my ninth grade year were amazing! The school needs to put more effort on students doing good on the FCAT, that putting the efort on dress code. This is By far the BEST 'SCHOOL' i've ever been to. oh and the Band Department is AMAZING!

Well, I am a student at TCHS and I say this school is the greatest school I have ever been to! It has its ups and downs but I can tell you that the administration is not mean because I know some of them personally. They are mean when they have a serious situation to deal with. I got a 4.0 in the first nine weeks of school...which has never happened to me before...the schoo has helped me in so many ways. Yes they care about dress code maybe too much...but they only do it because they want us to look like proper young ladies and gentlemen...and most of us dont go to school looking sloppy...we take ourschool very seriously and we really love it...so if your child had some type of bad experience...then your child probobly brought it on themselves...because teachers dont have time to deal with foolishness.

As for the school from my personal experience the faculty were very rude, and not helpful.

My son has now been in TCHS for two years. He will be a junior this fall and I have a daughter coming as a freshman this fall as well. I have seen many improvements in this school. In addition to academics, the other activities are great as well. The bottom line is the school will only be as good as you as a parent and child are involved. There are plenty of opportunities that are available to our children in this school. Mrs. White, the freshman counselor is a very caring person and personally met with me to discuss a need for next fall. She truly cares about her students. As a parent and a volunteer for TCHS, I urge all parents to get involved...the Student Advisory Council (SAC) committee is one way that you will know what is going on at all times in our school.

Each school is assigned a letter grade (A-F) based on three criteria: the overall performance on the FCAT, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. The School Grades are calculated by adding points earned from each of the performance criteria listed above.
