This school presents good opportunities to their students, and is all around a safe and fun school, however, this school struggles to bring in a needed amount of diverse backgrounds into its culture.

Mast Academy is good because it's not your typical high school. Its focus is on maritime, STEM, and environmental science, so if you like things like marine biology, it's a good place. The classes are smaller, so you really get to know your teachers and classmates, which makes it feel more like a community. Plus, the location by the water is good and it's amazing for marine activities.

They don’t teach well. Big problem with teachers, they focused more in giving homework than to teach and they don’t care about the well being of the students. Basically the system is designed for those kids who can studied by them selfs.

Let me start by stating that this is one of the best schools in the country, it is ranked within the first 50. Teachers are amazing with very few exemptions. Students are challenged and made hard working individuals. The new principal has made a difference and her leadership skills create a wonderfu...
