Choctawhatchee high school is one of the best schools in our District academically and athletically. Me being a Choir and Thearter kid at heart I would say the could treat us Preforming arts clubs a little love. Overall the staff is great and so kind, I couldn't ask for a better high school experience.

I recently graduated from Choctawhatchee High School and all I can say is that it was bad. For all four years of my high school career, the A/C was constantly broken, and when “fixed”, 75% of the time it’d break down again within the next day or two. The school is severely overpacked and nobody does...
