I wouldn't say he had a bad experience in so much as limited experience. It is very limited culturaly speaking. The school curriculum is designed to be succesful on the state mandated FCAT test. The high school is very limited as far as AP, IB, or dual enrollment classes. This will limit one's ability to compete with the top colleges outside of Florida. Now, I can offer a ton of more insight, but I will not do it publically on this forum. Every time I have done so, been honest, I end up having to defend myself to people who have very limited experience with the school. I will be more than willing to private message you with more info(good and bad).
