Unique in Florida, West Port middle school and high school share the same campus and core facilities, including cafeteria, music center, media center, gymnasium and administration building. Ample open space and a physical layout which maximizes security are keys to the success of this prototype. The complex has only one entrance - via the administration building - but there are multiple exits in case of emergency.
