Hello there,

New here and looking for some help looking for a school for my 9 year old daughter, we live in Clearwater and would like to stay west of Tampa Bay for commuting reasons.

I'm looking for the pros / cons of the following schools in no particular order:

GACS
SKYCREST
St PAULS
Espirito Santo
Charter Schools in the area
Any other Schools within 30 minutes drive of downtown clearwater?

I've just starting my analysis which I will put onto a sort of spreadsheet (yes I am like that) accumulating all your inputs as well as inputs from my visits.

Any and all comments about the above schools or others I am missing are greatly appreciated.

Our kid went thru GACS and we are happy with it mostly that it's a safe and academic challenging environment especially in math and science in middle school. The con is that it's a small school so the sports and music program is lacking and the school does not have an indoor gym. Couldn't get enough kids to even pull together a soccer team this year. Not an issue for us as we get our fill of that outside of school but it is a consideration for other families that we know.

If you kid is gifted, might want to also look at Dunedin Highland Middle School as part of the Gifted Studies for later as that takes some early planning. Heard good things about it and we are looking into it.
