Treasure Coast High School, often abbreviated as TCHS, is a high school located in Port St. Lucie, Florida. The school's name is taken from the Treasure Coast, the name of the region where the school is located, due to the presence of shipwrecks off its coast.

Campus

Treasure Coast High School is made up of four buildings and a central courtyard. The campus is designed to be very open and large to accommodate its students. The campus has trees and other plants. Three of the four buildings are two-story. The only building that does not have a second story is building 3, which contains the auditorium, gymnasium, and several elective classes, including the performing arts hallway and engineering and culinary hallway.

The school was designed so it would be possible to get to any class, from anywhere on campus, within five minutes.

In the 2008-2009 school year, the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) rated Treasure Coast High School a "C" school, for the second year in a row.[5]

In the 2009-2010 school year, the Florida Department of Education rated Treasure Coast High School a "B" school. It is the first true public high school in the St. Lucie County School District to be rated "B" with the exception of Lincoln Park Academy, a magnet school.[6]

TCHS continued to receive a "B" rating until the 2018-2019 school, with the exception of the 2015-2016 school year, where the school received a "C" rating.[7]

In the 2020-2021 school year, TCHS either did not qualify for or chose not to opt-into receiving a school grade. This was under FDOE Emergency Order No. 2021-EO-02, which delegated exceptions to the traditional school grading process amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9]

In the following school year, 2021-2022, TCHS would receive its first "A" rating. This was followed by "B" ratings for the few years following, and this rated has continued up to the current school year.[7]
