A.D. Henderson University School & FAU High School Reviews

This charter school gives students an equal opportunity to apply and offers nice financial aid services. It is centered around academics and pushes the students very hard. The school pays for the students to take a full load of college courses from 10-12 grade. If you're determined to get ahead in your career and academics, this school is perfect for you and will save you a lot of money during the process! They provide great opportunities in research and other criteria. The only downside is the limited sport options and an untraditional high school experience, including a small prom, winter formal, etc.

FAU High School provides an excellent education to its students! It gave me the opportunity to fully dual-enroll at Florida Atlantic University throughout high school, while also offering typical high school clubs and activities. I graduated with nearly 100 college credits! Overall, I would highly recommend this school.
I really like attending this school although I've been here for two years. The high school is quaint and a majority of those who attend the high school have also attended the middle and elementary school. Basically, everyone knows everyone. There are several clubs to chose from but the most popular ones mostly deal with technology and science. The Dual-enrollment program at the high school is unmatched-- Students 10th+ have the liberty of attending the university campus (Florida Atlantic University) where there are allowed to chose their own classes and make their own. Students interact with adults and get a headstart on their careers.
