This is a hell of a high school. This school annually ranks as one of the best, if not best Florida high schools. In addition, it ranks annually as a top 50 high school in the nation. This school offers students the chance to study architecture, industrial design, fashion design, film, and graphic design for 3 years! These programs of study are incredible. The faculty truly care about their students. In addition, colleges often reach out to recruit DASH students to attend their school.
The school pushes you to find self-drive and motivation to get the most out of your time here. I love how much I've grown as a person coming here. The skillset I've developed that wouldn't have been possible if the talented students and environment here didn't encourage me to try new things. The work quality and experience varies from student to student, especially when comparing one design course to another. And while it is said the Industrial Design students are undeniably the hardest workers than say the Film students, it is crucial to consider, once again, the drive each student has to go beyond what is expected. The school sounds better on paper than it turns out to be. The reputation it holds masks the struggles students face whether it is social, academic, or artistic skill that creates feelings of inferiority and lack of motivation. Many students seem to get left behind in such a competitive and pressurous environment. I think it's something the faculty could consider.
This year has been a challenge. College applications and the DASH workload can often be tiring. However, there is not a better high school in Miami to attend than my school. The faculty and environment are outstanding! All my teachers encourage me to push my work to the next level. The principal and counselor doors are open 24/7. I truly love how supportive everyone is including the generators.
