- Entrance requirements
-
In order to be considered for admission into Pine View, prospective students must meet the following requirements:
- Proof of Sarasota County residence
- Teacher recommendation accompanying the application
- Minimum score of 130 on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children or full-scale score of 130 on the Stanford-Binet V
- Minimum points on the Gifted Profile exam
- Curriculum
-
Pine View's academic year is 180 days long and is divided into two semesters. Students must enroll 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; the state of Florida requires only 24 credits.
- Pine View's credit distribution requirements are as follows:
- English - 4 credits
- Math - 3 credits
- Science - 3 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
- 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 half-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. Pine View alumni report not having known about this distinction until well after graduation.
- 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.
- Academic recognition
