The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience at Palm Beach Maritime Academy has been a joyride but also tough and hard. You see, when I first started High school at PBMA I did not know what to expect. The teachers and staff have been hard but also firm on me. I don't think I would be where I am now without having the experience with a few teachers that helped me so much and pass my major tests that I have to take in order to graduate high school. Mr. Zephyr Secher and Mr. Robert James. These 2 teachers helped me so much and I'm really grateful. When I started high school I was so nervous and scared because the classes were going to be much harder than middle and elementary but, I got through it all. Now I am a junior in high school and being a junior and taking a college course this year and Honors classes were a shock to me but also and honor to have. The worst is the food they really should get better food. They also need to have more things for high school not just middle school. They need to have better things.

I came to this school this year and it was a change of environment but still a learning and educational experience. The staff and teacher were very kind and supportive and helpful. They provided excellent educational opportunities . But they also provide some fun and interesting events which help the kids there have an excellent high school experience.

Honestly this school was very lacking in education I remember all my years here and even with the fun I had I really regret not going to even lake worth. Getting a hold of the counselor at this school horrendous and as a senior going to college I really needed that the most.
Use to be a good school. These days you never know who is the Teacher from one day to the next. Terrible turn around. I don't know where they find these Teachers but thier standards are poor. There is no support for the students if they have an issue with a Teacher or another student. It gets swept...
I regret ever putting my kids in this school, as it's the absolute worst. They sell you on all this great field trips which most of them the school cant afford to do in the first place. They go through staff like its going out of style including the principles, guidance counselors, and of course tea...
I love the small size of this school. I didn’t want my daughter to be just a number in a 4000 student high school. She gets individualized attention and everyone knows her name. She loves the marine science enrichment and hands-on learning. So happy I put my daughter here! Here little cousin is at t...
