Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Reviews
Rating 3.77 out of 5 806 reviews
My daughter attended all four years at MSD and really loved her experience. My daughter was a motivated student, with high academic standards and therefore took mostly AP and Honors level courses, which I believe makes a difference at MSD. Her teachers were smart, engaging, supportive and really pushed her to overachieve in her subjects and in life.
Since she was the first incoming class after the MSD shooting, there were mental and behavioral health specialist available, but if I'm honest, not enough. In addition, the school security continued to be avg. until about a year ago when they finally implemented State-approved security measures. Overall, she felt safe at MSD and was able to focus her attention on her classes, clubs and sports. If you are a high-achieving student and/or athlete, MSD is great! Also, if you want to attend college in FL, MSD is consistently ranked as the best public HS in FL, so you'll have a good chance of getting accepted. Next up for my daughter...UF!

Even through the obstacle I faced as I progressed as a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas with trying to balance my academics & extracurricular lifetsyle, I am proud to say that my school encouraged me to strive for greatness. Stoneman Douglas has such a strong sense of community and love for each other to the point that it really shows. This school has endured so much, but continues to get stronger everyday. From the dedicated teachers to the school culture on campus, it is an honor to call myself a MSD Eagle. Our teachers not only motivate students to do better in life, but to enhance their work ethic to make them future ready. I have the privilege of going to school knowing everyday I will not only become a better student, but overall a improved person. I thank my teachers who continued to believe in me and the administration who continue to commit to their duties. Safety is a priority for me and I know MSD is trying their best to keep us safe. My rating is a 5/5, MSD is my home!
This school is amazing! I have to tell you this. It has a lot of foreign language teachers than most schools, a lot of teachers and staff, extremely excellent on students with learning disabilities, such as Autism and ADHD. Special needs services and accommodations are excellent and rich rated, extremely excellent on adult support, one of the schools that have the lowest bullying rate than any other high schools, and students are treated well with respect. Cafeteria food is good. I’d say it’s the best high school in the nation.
