    It's a good school and I genuinely enjoy being at this school. It has good teachers, academics, clubs, and academies. There are good people at this school and although there is some bad crowd of kids there are also good ones. The lunch is not that great but you can always bring your own lunch which a lot of students do. I also don't like the lack of AP classes but there are AICE and dual enrollment classes. Overall I truly love this school and the opportunities that are offered here you won't find anywhere else!

    Hialeah Gardens High School is an excellent school in all aspects-- the school offers a multitude of programs for students to use to their advantage, allowing them to take classes that can substitute college courses (if the tests are passed). This is seen in the long list of AP and AICE courses the school offers, all of them being taught by teachers that are more than suitable for the subjects. Dual enrollment is also offered during the school day and after school. The teachers are wonderful and are very helpful; they genuinely care for the students there. There is a great variety of clubs offered for students to participate in, one of my favorites being band. The very successful club has reached state recognition, being among the 5 top bands in Florida in the 2017 year in its category! To conclude, I highly recommend this school to anyone that is looking to advance in their academic careers and to be in a healthy ambient created by the students and staff in that school.
    Hialeah Gardens Senior High School is an amazing school for academically-oriented students. The current principal, Mrs. Jimenez, is by far the best; she deeply cares for her students as if they were her own family and strives to improve the academic setting in every way she can. The clubs and activities offered are also one-of-a-kind and very inclusive. Nevertheless, the school's downfall stems mainly from some of the staff's varying efforts; while the principal is great, others in administration and certain teachers do not care as much as they should, which results in students wanting to enrich and grow being limited.
