Junior: I have totally enjoyed every aspect of college. I am in the Honors Program at FSU, in a fraternity, on the Deans List, play Inter-Fraternal Basketball, have leadership roles in my fraternity, volunteer community service hours, and active in several clubs and Honor Societies. I am double majoring in Finance and Risk Management, which FSU is known for excellent programs. FSU has great professors and abundant resources available in the career center. The campus layout and Tallahassee is also a reason I chose FSU. Go Noles!

Palm Pointe Educational Research School at Tradition

• Public School
• Port St Lucie, FL
• K-8
• 24

Alum: Palm Pointe was the perfect school for me. In my eight years there, I was taught at a high standard with great respect, discipline, and care. The teachers/staff are amazing; I've never met such dedicated people in my life. The administration knows exactly how to handle any situation with efficiency and dignity. The student population is diverse and diligent; it has been a pleasure knowing such awesome people. Palm Pointe's campus is pristine thanks to the efforts of their maintenance/janitorial staff. The food service is, in my opinion, the best in Saint Lucie County Schools, offering a great selection of healthy meal options. The extracurriculars/elective courses are superior to any other comparable school (especially the music program! :) ) PTO is incredibly supportive for every activity PPE hosts, making each event an unforgettable experience. Overall, I couldn't be prouder to say I attended Palm Pointe. Thank you for making my eight years at PPE the best!

Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC)

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 6-8
• 6

Parent: I am a parent of two students that have attended Archimedean Middle Conservatory. Our overall experience has been nothing but positive. The administration along with the teachers create an atmosphere that is both safe and nurturing. Whenever any of my two children have had a concern or just needed to talk to someone, there is always a teacher or the principal that is available to take time out of their schedule to hear them out. Academically, the school prepares all the students equally for success whether the student is gifted or in the non-gifted setting. I can honestly say that I am very proud and thankful that my children had the opportunity to attend Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC). No other school in the county could have prepared them as well as Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC) has.

Parent: My child and I are both very happy with SSAS. I have a son that struggles to get through classwork but loves athletics. He has found a good balance and has received a lot of extra help with his school work. SSAS has found the right classes and middle school "balance" for him. I love the diversity and the size of the school. The staff is really helpful and wants to do a great job. My kid has never "loved" school, but he enjoys SSAS and he is successful both socially and acedemically! I am grateful for everything they do for all of the kids, they CARE and it shows!

Student Leadership Academy

• Sarasota County Schools, FL
• 6-8
• 1

Senior: It was a small school with only about 100 kids in each grade. The classes were well taught and it was obvious the teachers care about students. The only draw back is there are very few elective classes to choose from and you are offered the same electives every year.

Seaside Neighborhood School

• Walton County School District, FL

Freshman: Seaside Neighborhood School is an amazing middle school. It’s great location gives many opportunities for hands on learning and career mentoring! Going to such a creative and unique school made my middle school years fun and challenging (in a good way). As for teachers, they are PHEONOMIAL and I couldn’t have asked for better teachers and mentors throughout my middle school experience.

Parent: TCMS's curriculum is very rigorous. Students can expect more home work than typical middle schools require. The students are also better prepared when they leave TCMS than those students who were not as challenged.

Aventura City of Excellence School

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL

Middle School Student: As a middle school student at ACES i think it is an overall great school. Everywhere you go there is going to be a popular clique and some mean kids but they’re not that bad. The teachers are very nice and patient with bad kids. I agree the office could use a school nurse, i’ve had a few bad experiences there... The principle is a very responsible and really cares about the school. I live very far from the school and there is usually a lot of traffic but once i arrive there are police officers to guide the traffic into school and it makes me feel very safe.

Liza Jackson Preparatory School

• Okaloosa County School District, FL
• K-8

High School Junior: At this school, out of the six schools I have attended, I've made the closest friends and also have learned my potential as a student. At this school they stressed that it was an IB school ( International Baccalaureate). It's an incredible school and environment, and it taught me a lot of what I know today. It still helps me apply a bountiful amount of knowledge to any of my situations. It has taught me to be perceptive to any situation around me and to always act like I'm being watched by the most important person in the world.

Galileo School for Gifted Learning

• Seminole County Public Schools, FL
• K-8
• 12

Parent: Galileo School is the best school we could have ever asked for! The teachers are invested and interested, without exception, in your child's education. They genuinely care about all the children and work hard to give them the best education they can.

We started in Elementary School and moved on to Middle School with Galileo and have had an extremely positive experience across the board.

The administration are wonderful and I have never had a single negative experience with any of them in any aspect. My son has a Gifted EP as well as a 504 and they have been fantastic. Could not speak more highly of this school.

Mason Classical Academy

• Collier County Public Schools, FL
• K-10
• 7

Parent: I am happy to report that our first grader, who had zero interest in learning a year ago is now (after only a month at Mason Classical) reading🙌🏼, can recite classic poems and the preamble to the US constitution, he knows the 7 continents, is striving in math, can point out rivers in countries across the globe, is mastering the Riggs phonics and is showing confidence that we have not seen before, and above all he is excited to learn and he LOVES his school. And he has a blast at recess everyday with his new friends. This school ALWAYS puts safety first! Our minds are at ease everyday knowing that he is in the safest place he can be.

We love that there isn't any room for anything but learning at this school. My son is easily distracted like most kids, here the distractions are very limited. Children's minds do need to be challenged and they thrive on these challenges, our son is living proof of that. We are so grateful for Mason Classical Academy 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
