2018 Best Charter Middle Schools in FloridaAbout this List

Florida State University School

• Public School
• Tallahassee, FL
• K-12
• 346

Senior: I love FSU! It has definitely shaped my experience and I have learned and grown so much in my four years. The faculty and staff have all been extremely kind and it is easy to see how much they genuinely care about their students' success. They overextend themselves to make sure they meet the needs of each of their students.
FSU is working to improve the eateries on campus, now adding dining options in residential halls and including more healthier alternatives to cater to different dietary needs.
Diversity on campus is still an issue, as it is a PWI, a predominately white institution. There are safe spaces, however, for students of color to feel welcomed and comfortable. With over 600 organizations, FSU makes sure that every student finds a place on campus.
The new student Union is also in progress, which will expand to provide more spaces for club meetings and resources for students.
Overall, FSU is a great school and anyone can feel welcomed here, even if they aren't a student!

Palm Pointe Educational Research School at Tradition

• Public School
• Port St Lucie, FL
• K-8
• 23

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!

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!

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.

Middle School Student: The school is great and helps students succeed. The culture is incredible, and the administration, particularly the principal, hold the school to a particularly high standard in all regards. The club's are spectacular and competitive in national level competition. The only downside is that the school has few resources, and does not care about sports, only academics.

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.

Niche User: A great place with many cultures. I attended as a child and loved the relationships I built. I remember one event which really embodied the experience of this school. We were playing kickball in kindergarten when the ball got stuck in a ditch in the wall. The principal himself went crawling up there and got it for us! This place is definitely a safe place to learn and prepare for the future.
