Its main feeder schools are Switzerland Point Middle School and Liberty Pines Academy, with other students coming from Alice B. Landrum Middle School.

Naming

Although it was assumed the board would call the school Sampson High School from a meeting at the time, the school was named Beachside because of its close proximity to the artificial beach created from the 14-acre lagoon named Beachwalk. Member of the board, Kelly Barrera said it was "almost humorous" because the school isn't even remotely close to a natural beach at all. [4]

History

In the schools first year, the school opened 3 days later than all other high schools in the county due to construction delays. [5] Likewise to Tocoi Creek, its first year the school only had grades 9–11. [6]
