    If disappointment was a school it would be Florida Park high school

    Teachers and staff here are arrogant and can't teach ( not all) Conditions of the school is bad Students are interesting Activities and subject choices are VERY limited, it's depressing , even when there are activities there is no consistency Bathrooms get locked and there is no tissue most times The grading system needs to be upgraded They lock the fields Just books 24/7 , We're tired Barely any civies/ events ( only one in Feb) They punish everyone for one naughty student The school gives l...

    This school is bums bro. (Respectfully) #bringbackwhiteprincipals

    The black principal of 2026 is HORRENDOUS with his ridiculous rules, and what do you mean you are closing BOTH bathrooms and the teacher I need to go to for the bathrooms is not even in their class!!! I was pressed and nearly urinated myself because of those sheer monstrosity. This principal wants to feel like a king but he is more like a jester (respecfully). Not to be racist or colorist, but that principal makes me realize why it's better for white people to be in power except those apartheid...

    Doing their jobs

    Admin and accounts teams need to buck up , incorrect details on children’s profiles every year even after we send back the correct details and without fail every single year I’ve got to do the accounts departments job by sending them payments they have not allocated. Really terrible service in this regard

    Theft at school

    The worst school ever. My during grade 12 june exams last year my daughter was one of the learners who left their school bags in the taurism teacher's class. This teacher went and threw the ag outside. The other learners went and took their bags whilst my daughter was already inside the hall. After her exam she goes to this specific class, when she gets there the teacher tells her she threw the bags outside and they're not allowed to put bags inside her class. On the cctv learners were opening her bag, took her phone, lunch box and bag. They took her history and afrikaans books scattered her notes everywhere ?. Worse part all those useless teachers couldn't even identify that group of boys, and when I said the teacher was racist cause she would not have done that to white learners, the school defended her. My poor child went to write history and afrikaans the following day without preparation because of that insensitive teacher, a salary collector. Shame, I'll never refer anyone I know to take their kids to that useless school.

    One of the best English schools in the West Rand

    I am a former student of Florida Park high school, the school had the best timetable in the country in the sense that you would be with different people in almost every class instead of being stuck with the same people as well as flexibility when it comes to subject choices. It didn't limit you in any way. The English,Life Sciences, Mathematics,Business studies and Geography were totally incredible.

    "Teachers are never wrong only students"

    Good school but a friend of mine who's name I won't mention had a traumatic experience from the school which almost landed my friend in prison for something which my friend didnt do then because of a teacher tht didn't want to see my friend succeed .I myself was a student at parkies and trust me teachers are very defensive of one another in their eyes students are always wrong Teachers like mrs Vaughn deserve awards for ruining learners lives and creating traumatic experiences to our fellow friends Worse part is no one wanted to hear my friends part of the story only the teachers story was heared

    Can you really send your child there

    This school does not believe in the student they think they are not good enough. They is no place for them to sit when raining .it's a public school that doesn't give the kids stationery they must buy everything .the matrix terrioz the kids like putting hair remover in there hair and bleaching blazers etc .There is only a few good teacher the other teacher are just there for the money. They have never called a building inspector because they is a hole upstairs and you can see down stair which means that the building is unstayible. They only clean there classes during parents evenings . only naughty children are willing to settle for that school.There is only sports that they want in the school and don't provide food to those who can't afford l hate that school and wouldn't recommend it to any one .

    Florida park high

    I’d been in the school since grade 8 and all they focused on was education and stoping drug dealers ,not the mental well being of students or racial views of black students ,

    Parkies for life, never

    Well... It's a good school to be honest. Except for teachers like Mr 'You are late' and Mrs 'Don't go past the first desk if you are late' who have no joy at all. I wouldn't stay here for one more year even if I was offered a million. But like I said, it's a good school. Then we have teachers like Mrs Davids who is a rainbow on the outside and inside and Mrs Krishnaswamy (my spelling whoooo) who is actually really nice when you get to speak to her about other things, apart from Physics. Mrs Gow, With a great passion for maths, and Mrs Buckley wjo is actually very relateable. Mrs Gouws who is a funny yet mouthy woman and Mr Sithole who is just a joke. Let's talk about Dudu, our caretaker, wonderful French man. And Mr Walky Talky; another care taker, I don't know his name actually. Ohh no he's a pain in the... (You know where). This is what makes up Parkies. It is not perfect, but it definitely is not the worst. Okay.... So I just read where it says I musnt use personal names and I oop-
