Their is truly one word to describe this school : Incompetent. The staff is lousy and lazy, most of the office workers work from 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. this of course includes the 5 councilors (which you can only see in lunch time, which starts at 11:35, because otherwise you would be skipping class) the nurse (which comes once every 3 days and is only available for special needs students) and of course the principal, if she's their; the principal owns a Mercedes, Audi, and a limo but can no longer afford the "privilege" of having food stands around the school like on my freshmen year (2012) to decrease the waiting time in both cafeterias (around 20 - 30 minutes) and she has hired security guards that the only thing that they can do is take bribes from the kids to skip in a lunch line they are supposed to monitor. Most "teachers" just hand out book work to their students and call it teaching and are unreasonable when negotiating with their students and make it their lives mission to fail them by "losing" their work or giving them unfair grades. Truth be told. out of my 4 years in the school I have only had 6 real teachers out of the 24 that I've had, and I've had a "good" experience compared to most students.

This school is the worst, for the 4 years I have been here it really does suck, I've only had about 8-10 good teachers out of the 24 I've had, and I can name them down below. All the other teachers are jokes and don't teach at all. You would think this school is only good for the magnet programs but its not, the principal only cares about ram tech and the science biology program, she does not fund anything else. FUN fact the principal was almost fired because she was holding off the school money since she didn't want to spend any of it. She also was 1 month late on the light bill for the school and FPL was mad and calling her like crazy. She has done nothing beneficial for this school except try and make up more rules which doesn't work, this school sugar coats that we are a C or B school but in reality this is ACTUALLY a D school. I do not recommend for any parents to bring their child to this school. It hasn't gotten better, for the past 6-8 years now. And that says a lot since we have stuck with the same principal for now. The security guards especially sharen are very rude, sharen always humiliates you if you are walking in the hallway and she literally screams at you, she treats students as if we are prisoners and criminals. No one takes uniform seriously, the administration and staff do nOT help in the office, and especially all the assistant principal and those who work in the same office as the principal have very nice cars, Lexus, Mercedes, Acura, Porsche. While all the other teachers have decent cars or really old cars. Its obvious to notice who gets more numbers in their checks when they don't even do a good job. I don't think that This school hasnt helped me to be prepared for what college is really like but i had to go and do it myself. The only classes you actually learn in are in Honors or AP , even then some of those honors or ap teacher just tell you to copy from the book and learn on your own and that's "teaching". Now they want to enforce ID's when they never have throughout all the four years I've been here... and if you don't have one they charge you $2 how pathetic. If you want to save you or your child four years of bad experience and jail-like life, then don't go here I wish I never came here and went somewhere else but unfortunately I have siblings and my mom didn't want to waste gas.

Teachers that Are actually good that I have had and have heard from other students recommend taking:
Mr. Gutierrez
Mr. Benitez
Mr.Silva
Ms.Lovett
Mr.Jones
Ms. Alonso
Mr. Diaz
Mr. Sanchez
Ms. Herbert
Mr. Montesino (AP Art)
Mr. Cordova
Mr. Formosa (Photoshop)
Mr. Toffoli (Communications technology)

I am a student and I have never met a staff more rude. The teachers are great and well educated and prepared. However, the office staff and activities director especially are rude and treat their students like pieces of meat. They have are disrespectful and ignore any question one may bring up. They may go as far as insulting a student or being as petty as engaging in verbal arguments with a student because the level of sass and attitude needs to be put in check. You would think that working with students guarantees a positive attitude or at least kind personality, but stepping foot in CP you realize that these assumptions cannot be made.

As a parent, I am extremely disappointed with this school and its administration.... how can this school anounce graduation a week and a half before graduation THIS IS UNACEPTABLE........ I am working out of the city and I will miss my son's graduation. Very irresponsable..... this school needs to be audit, specially very concern with students smoking mariguana inside the school, school officials and professor know and they don't do anything about it. Again super disappointed with Coral Park High School..... spanish teacher needs to be changed for the love of GOD.... it is embarrasing for someone like this individual to teach Spanish. A lot of discrimination in this school... please audit this school talk to students get their testimony.
I regret my son graduated from this school.

Too many wanna be gangsters and irresponsible staff, even the Principal won't take accountability. They let any kid go to this school even when they know the teenagers have behavior problems.
I don't recommend it.

Completamente decepcionada del coach de basketball...un equipo perdedor por tres temporadas y no cambia el esquema,la forma en que grita constantemente a los jugadores es deprimente no es una figura motivadora, les da 1 o 2 minutos de juego a algunos y al primer error lo saca del partido...que jugador no comete errores ...tuvo el atrevimiento de decirle a un chico q lo sacaba porq no tenia capacidad para estar en el equipo..para mi y muchos padres con los q tuve oportunidad de charlar el unico q no esta capacitado es usted...3 temporadas con mas de 60 partidos y solo ha ganado como 5 .....que tristeza q a la directora no le duela quienes salen a sudar la camiseta de coral park. El dolor es solo para nosotros como padres y para estos chicos.

This school is an interesting place there are tons of sports that nobody cares about such as golf and badminton and the most competitive one is shadow boxing.
