Miami Beach Senior High School Reviews

I was a student at Beach High for all 4 years and I am grateful to say that I have enjoyed most of my time there. Although the overall academics is not the best, I was part of a subculture at the school which made academic excellence and extracurriculars critical. This was the AP and IB community in the school. The teachers in this school community were incredible and prepared us well for college. Outside of this community, the teachers were subpar, trying the minimum for most of their students. What adds to this is that because of the very international community, many of the students come to the school starting with no English. When it comes to school spirit, it is very low and the sports program does not help this situation. Now there are many clubs which is good, but they are very superficial, most of them only participated for college application reasons.

I love the teachers, especially the AP teacher like Ms. Haselmann and Mr. Fiori! Excellent college readiness courses. I highly recommend doing the Scholars program as it will facilitate your journey to college. It's also a very diverse school and it offers many clubs including scuba, art, and ecology club. If I had anything negative to say about MBSH it would have to be the food but then again most public schools don't offer the finest lunch choices.
Miami Beach Senior High was a fantastic experience for me. Coming from a strict charter middle school. It was a change like no other because it the four it has given me could not be compared to what I witnessed in middle school. The variety of people you could meet and make friends with were life changing because I've had enjoyment and laughter levels that were never surpassed in my life. Education wise, it was manageable and many of my professors were understandable and could connect to you not only in education but in a pop-culture where they could understand you more. Getting to graduation was enjoyable and straightforward like as mentioned that the professors enjoy working with the students as long as the students put in their effort to have their desired goals to graduate high school. I've had adventures outside of school because of the clubs I've joined, community service hours and friends that I've made in school.
