2022 Best Charter Middle Schools in Florida

Orlando Science Middle/High Charter School

• Orange County Public Schools, FL
• 6-12
• Rating 4.24 out of 5  172 reviews

Parent: An amazing school with teachers and staff that truly cares about the safety, well-being, character, and success of each student. With daily personal interaction, your child is no longer just a number on a roster - they’re treated with respect and given appropriate boundaries that are truly enforced! I love the zero-tolerance anti-bullying and uniform policies as they allow the students to focus on academics rather than societal constraints and judgements. The students are truly driven and want to excel and succeed - aside from the stupendous leadership from the school, it’s the students that make it feel like a family. They’re creative, intelligent, and are given the freedom to become critical thinkers in a world where we are desperate need of more problem-solvers. The school challenges them to be the best that they can be and accepts them for who they are - it’s just an all around amazing organization!...Read 172 Reviews

• Rating 4.32 out of 5  719 reviews

Senior: I visited Florida State University my junior year on a college fair trip. With this opportunity, I was able to visit so many schools which were uniquely different. By the end of the trip I knew I found my top three schools that I was interested in attending, with Florida State University being one of them. What made me interested in florida state university was the campus. As me and my classmates were following behind the the tour guide excitedly, I realized how comfortable I felt. As me and peers explored the beautiful campus the atmosphere felt welcoming. I was able to see college students interacting and visit some of the buildings for different major. I also learned about FSU study abroad program which was very interesting! Overall, I had a great experience!...Read 719 Reviews

• Rating 4.36 out of 5  169 reviews

Freshman: My experience at this school has been nothing but great! The staff is tremendously helpful, the school's campus is always clean, and the classes are smaller which I prefer. The student body is also diverse which I find can be comforting for people like myself and others. Lastly, the school has done a great job practicing CDC guidelines and encouraging them to students. Students are required to wear a mask around campus and the school now offers plenty of online class options...Read 169 Reviews

City of Pembroke Pines Charter High School

• Broward County Public Schools, FL
• 6-12
• Rating 3.92 out of 5  841 reviews

Alum: My four years at Pembroke Pines Charter High School were definitely some to remember. There was constantly something going on, whether a drama show, dance, or game that students could get involved in! One of the only things that I wish I could change was the fact that most of my graduating class had been together for 12+ years. As a charter school, most kids were accepted in Kindergarten and never left, creating a solid friend group long before high school. This made freshman year difficult to find friends because they had all been established, but once you found your group it was the best of times!...Read 841 Reviews

Villages Charter School

These standards create a challenging college-like learning pace to further prepare the students.

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!...Read 11 Reviews

Coral Springs Charter School

• Broward County Public Schools, FL

• Rating 3.78 out of 5  317 reviews

Junior: Coral Springs Charter(CSCS) is a great environment to get a high level of education. Depending on your specific skill set, the classes match up with your pacing, allowing one ti get a better understanding of what they are learning. They provide a wide variety of after school extra-curricular activities and clubs that allow one to grow socially and emotionally. With that being said, Coral Springs Charter's guidance offices can be better. There are extensive waiting periods for students depending not on chronological order, but on personally decided importance. In terms of the building, the bathrooms have lacked funding towards plumbing and sanitary toiletries...Read 317 Reviews

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...Read 6 Reviews

Alum: The best part about Seaside Neighborhood Schools is the hands on experience it allows. Starting in middle school, there are creative classes that allow students to explore more options than would be allowed in a typical school. Once students move into high school, there is then the opportunity to receive college credit and experience for years prior to even graduating high school!...Read 13 Reviews

Mason Classical Academy

• Collier County Public Schools, FL
• K-12
• Rating 4.05 out of 5  20 reviews

Parent: Mason Classical has given my kids the foundation for their education. Without MCA being constitutionally focused, virtue driven, and teaching the students how to think not what to think, it would be just another school. ...Every family has a choice when it comes to education - or should have a choice - because education is unique in what you want out of it. Mason offers the best opportunity for your students to be set up for success in whatever future endeavors they choose. The rigorous curriculum and high expectations will set them apart in college admissions interviews as well as prepare them for the academic load of college. Learning how to be responsible and being held responsible for their actions and grades sets them up for success in any future - should they choose to learn that lesson. ...We are so thankful for what MCA offers our kids and would not choose anything else.Read 20 Reviews

The staff are kind and accommodating to all students. The teachers create personal connections with the students and staff in their daily interactions and are of the highest standing and character. All are respectful, warm, and understanding individuals. The administration does a fantastic job at adhering to the needs and desires of the overall student body and assists if their is any disturbance or hindrance to the education of the students. They uphold the values of community and virtue and are great to enforce the rules of the school in a reasonable manner. Students are respected, known by name, and due to the small school size are able to form tight bonds with the students and faculty around them.

Parent: As homeschool parents of 8 years, High School was always open for discussion as the years passed. Upon our oldest, who is now a Sophomore, neared his high school years, we always prayed this would be our choice. We now have our daughter there, as a Freshman, and couldn't be more pleased at the attentiveness of the teachers and staff, genuine kindness to see their scholars succeed. The curriculum is rigorous and challenging, and they have adapted well and love this Academy. While True North is still a young high school, the history of a classical education aligns with our beliefs in learning, discussing and expressing ones thoughts in order to articulate their views and individualism...Read 5 Reviews
