Countryside High School

I am very grateful for the staff and new principles at the school. Countryside has had a bad reputation for years but they did a 180 this year and now students are leaving phu and elhs (5 star) to come to chs. (2019/2020)

This is a school where very few teachers and no administrators actually care about the students, their progress, taking care of bullying, or effective communication with parents. I will be attempting to get my child enrolled elsewhere as soon as possible.

In my child's first year here, he has one teacher announce to the class that she hates her first period class, another teacher tell students his paycheck was more important than his student's education, and doesn't bathe to the point students cannot stand next to him long without getting nauseous, and another teacher who told another class that while she knew they were mostly male, please try and pick up the mess.. Teachers wait until the last day of the grading period to put in their grades, which gives students no time to refute or challenge them, and one teacher required an entire period class to turn in assignments before another because of a few kids misbehaving in that period. One teacher gives out donuts to students while she is being evaluated, but not to the other periods of the day, and another teacher has been observed swearing in and out of the classroom. Nice first year here. Can't wait to see how the rest goes.

Best school in Pinellas county. You get what you put in... if you put in f- work your gonna get a f- but if you actually try a little you can succeed here.
