Pine View School for the Gifted is a full-time gifted public school located in Osprey, Florida.
Campus: From its founding in 1969 until 1994, the school was located in Sarasota, Florida. The name Pine View was chosen to because of the many pine trees at the location. The school was founded with the help of a Department of Education grant, and grew from a collection of about ten portable classrooms to over one hundred portables before it was moved to its current campus in Osprey. Pine View's current campus sports more than a dozen buildings situated around a central lawn and connected by open-air, blue porticos.
Entrance requirements: Pine View educates students from second grade to twelfth grade. In order to attend Pine View, students must have a minimum score on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children of 130. The IQ requirement on the Stanford-Binet V is also a full scale score of 130. Students must also achieve a certain number of points on the Gifted Profile examination.
Curriculum: Pine View's year is 180 days long and is divided into two semesters. Students must be enrolled in at least six classes, not counting study halls, during each semester. Because most of Pine View's students enter high school with credit from high school classes taken during middle school, Pine View requires students to complete 26 credits in order to graduate from high school, while the state of Florida requires students complete only 24 credits.
Pine View's credit distribution requirements are as follows:
English - 4 credits.
Math - 4 credits (Florida requires 3 credits).
Science - 4 credits.
Social Studies - 3 credits, with one credit in American History, half a credit in Economics, and half a credit in Government.
Practical Arts/Performing Fine Arts - 1 credit.
Life Management Skills/Physical Education - 1.5 credits.
Foreign Language - 3 credits (Florida requires 2 credits).
Many students graduate with significantly more than the required 26 credits; graduating with 33 credits is not unheard of. Students acquire these extra credits by taking more than the required six classes per semester, carrying over credit from high school-level language and math classes taken during middle school, taking classes online at the Florida Virtual School, and taking classes (most often Personal Fitness and Fitness Lifestyle Design) during the summer.
Pine View's curriculum emphasizes rigor, and students who have attended other public schools in the Sarasota area generally report that Pine View's classes require significantly more work than their counterparts at other schools. Although weighted GPAs give the standard single-point bonus to honors classes, the same class is never offered as both non-honors and honors at Pine View. Most classes are designated as honors to reflect their challenging workload except where Florida statute prohibits the designation, such as in foreign language classes.
Since students are never given a choice between honors and non-honors classes, they instead choose between Advanced Placement (AP) and non-AP classes. As of the 2006-2007 school year, Pine View officially offers approximately 28 different AP courses, although a course may not be taught in a given year due to lack of student demand. Additionally, Pine View offers classes in differential equations and multivariate calculus to students who have completed AP Calculus.
Government recognition: Pine View is among the 35 of Florida's 2859 public schools (1.2%) to earn a top grade of "A" on every administration of the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) since the program began in 1999. In 2003, Pine View was selected as a Blue Ribbon School.
