The School Choice Program in Pinellas County has gained popularity over the last few years. Parents have the opportunity to help choose which school their child will attend. Schools are narrowed down by zoning into smaller categories and you can choose your schools from that selection. In Pinellas County there are so many great schools to choose from parents often find themselves torn between multiple schools.In northern Pinellas County in areas such as Palm Harbor, and East Lake there are many top rated schools to choose from. These parents have a tough choice. Brooker Creek, Cypress Woods, Leila Davis and Garrison Jones Elementary are some of the top choices in this area. These schools excel in attendance, teacher retention, FCAT testing and parent support. For older students, Palm Harbor University High School, Countryside High and East Lake High School are excellent at academics, athletics and the arts. Many of these students go on to college or higher education.

Seminole High School remains a top choice for this area and has an excellent parent involvement group, athletics, marching band and arts department.
