There is a few very good teachers such as Mr. Jacinto, Ms. Anthony, and Ms. Soulard. The issue is that there are many classes not offered. Additionally I think they have a lot of smart kids but this is not due to outstanding teaching. It is a good and successful school but overall not a 5 star.

Gulf Coast was great for both of my kids. Collier County rezoned our neighborhood and our son is finishing his high school career at Aubrey Rogers High School which is absolutely fantastic.

Unfortunately I had to leave due to rezoning. However, while here, I loved this schools spirit and the positive stigma surrounding the school.

Kim lonergan singlehandedly destroyed my daughter’s school. She is a dictator and doesn’t listen to anybody. Most of the good teachers left. Thankfully they fired her and her sister. Good riddance.
