  1. #1 Best Private High Schools in Hillsborough CountyBerkeley Preparatory SchoolTampa, FL•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.38 out of 5 109 reviewsAlum: Berkely was a huge help in preparing me for college. If anything, I was way over prepared! They helped me get into my dream school of the University of Miami of which I graduated Magna Cum Laude. The teachers and faculty were incredible and always had my best interest in mind. They even sparked my interest in the career opportunity, mobile app development, through their AP Computer Science courses, of which I am currently pursuing now. Berkely has continued to support me even after graduating high-school and college. They even went as far as giving me the opportunity to apply for an investment through their new program BUC Ventures which invests in startups. My startup mobile app, WAVES: The Future of Film, won their investment and they have done so much for supporting my growth and understanding of how a business should be run. I can’t thank them enough and will forever be grateful!...

  5. #4 Best Private High Schools in Hillsborough CountyAcademy of the Holy NamesTampa, FL•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.28 out of 5 132 reviewsJunior: As a current Junior at the Academy of the Holy Names, I am proud to call this school my second home. I never feel endangered or pressured by my peers and administration, and since I am a high school swimmer, I tend to stay after school up until 7:00pm, all while being under safe supervision. While I have only been attending Academy of the Holy Names for only 3 years, I have been through collective and personal changes attending an all-girl school. One thing that has not been consistent is the uniform policy. Our uniform, as of now, is a navy blue skirt, baby blue dry-fit top with our emblem, and white socks paired with brown penny-loafers. While this uniform is considered traditional, many girls take advantage of the all-female factor causing administration to amend the uniform every year since I have attended. I would like to experience a sense of conformity and consistency, but other than that, I am proud to be a part of the sisterhood of the Academy of the Holy Names....

Being a hispanic student at a primarily white school, I was taken in by the community and never felt out of place or racially excluded. What most impresses me about plant is the administration and the help that they provide to their students. Guidance counselors have so much on their plate yet they dedicate time to make sure each student is helped. There are also many volunteers and counselors that have walked me through the college process, I am very thankful for this as it is a long and confusing process. Secondly, sports at Plant High School have amazed me. Forming part of varsity football and soccer teams I have reached state semifinals in both sports, women’s basketball and volleyball have won state championships during my 4 years at Plant.

IB teachers are, for the most part, easy to get along with and are actually invested in their students as people. Most of my negative experiences have been with my peers, who have an intense want for competition and are very judgy, and with administration, which seems to have gotten worse in the past few years. A lot of them are now unmotivated to do things for students (like work with clubs) and are implementing crazy tardy policies that keep students from the classes we're trying to get to. I just wanted to go to the bathroom before so I didn't have to leave English class during instruction and I had to miss the whole class in ISS!

We visited the campus & heard student testimony & were sold. I love the community/family feel, the college prep is aggressive but provides so much more opportunity for exposure to colleges/college life than any other school would! The teachers are steady and committed, they teach multiple grade levels so get to watch your student grow each step of the way & are deeply invested in their success.

  33. #11 Best Public High Schools in Hillsborough CountyTampa Bay Technical High SchoolHillsborough, FL•9-12•Rating 3.88 out of 5 671 reviewsSenior: Some area's I would like to improved at Tampa Bay Technical High School are the curriculum's, work, life readiness, and the restroom cleanliness. Starting off with the curriculum and tying into the work and life readiness, TBT could improve the curriculum to increase education about taxes, how to complete taxes, buying a house, and other life challenges like financing. The other area TBT could improve in is the cleanliness of the restrooms. I think a solution to the problem would be bringing up the the actions some student take in the restrooms, like immediately taking the toilet paper out of the dispenser, putting in the water, breaking into the soap dispensers, taking the soap out, and using excess paper towels. The staff work very hard to clean the restrooms and do a good job however some of the students disrespect them by taking those actions....

  34. #14 Best Private High Schools in Hillsborough CountyBayshore Christian SchoolTampa, FL•Private School•PK, K-12•Rating 4.35 out of 5 52 reviewsSenior: Bayshore Christian School offers an enriching high school experience. I came from a school where I felt very out of place and where I struggled with bullying. At Bayshore, I discovered a sense of community that pervaded the school. I was able to instantly make friends and the teachers are devoted to making each student feel recognized while preparing them for success. There is a strong faith in every student and faculty member, and regular worship provides opportunities for everyone to grow closer together. However, I have noticed that the school, due to its small size, sometimes struggles with teachers transferring to larger schools, which causes teachers to take on multiple subjects. However, Bayshore accounts for this adequately by integrating FLVS courses into the curriculum. One change I would like to see at Bayshore is for a greater focus to be placed on encouraging students to pursue more challenging classes, instead of permitting students to simply "cruise" through courses....
