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.

Overall I have loved being at PBMA High School. It is a very tight nite high school where everyone knows each other. The teachers are friendly and fun and the administration is amazing. The clubs aren't very diverse but the ones we do have are fun.

My experience at Palm Beach Maritime Academy High School has been very positive. There is a really small and close environment which makes it really easy to form relationships with teachers and administration. There's also a lot of events and student activities such as painting in the Lake Worth Street Painting Festival and the Plywood Regatta.
