the late pass system sucks even if im only late for 1 minute i have to walk back from the back of the school to the middle to get a pass and then walk back again wasting more time if i was late 3 minutes every day for 10 days sure 30 minutes sounds alot but be for real nobody is doing anything in those 3 minutes. i lose 100 strands of hair everyday and in 100 days thats a total of 10000 strands but that dont mean im balding

Seaside High is a good school. There are many opportunities to become learn and experience. But its hard to combat attitudes from some students. The teachers are all great and work hard to make students learn. Of course some will be better, others worse.

I liked the sense of community, but the teachers were too laid back. I'd like to see students pushed more.

Principal does not support teachers. Teachers are not qualified. Too many subs. Students are not safe. There have been multiple fights and race was a factor. Very sad.

The Rating number for this School isn't appropriate. The Score is much lower than a ( 5 ) It maybe better than it was years ago but Test Scores don't lie. And even a rating of ( 5 ) sucks.
