Florida State University School

• Public School
• Tallahassee, FL
• K-12
• 583 reviews

Senior: I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Florida State! Between the professors and the advisors in each college, I feel prepared for my future, and equipped with all of the tools I need to succeed. Throughout the years, I have felt that FSU has only pushed for me to strive for academic success and success in extracurricular actives - like clubs, jobs, or internships. There has always been someone to help and match you with resources. Our student life and culture is not only fun, but encouraging. I have always felt safe - and our facilities are always in mind in terms of renovation in order to give students a positive experience. I genuinely believe there is a place for everyone at Florida State - as there is something for everybody!

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.

Sarasota School of Arts & Sciences

• Sarasota County Schools, FL

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!

Liza Jackson Preparatory School

• Okaloosa County School District, FL
• K-8
• 6 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.

Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC)

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

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.

Student Leadership Academy

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.

Aventura City of Excellence School

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

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.

Mason Classical Academy

• Collier County Public Schools, FL
• K-11
• 8 reviews

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Bell Creek Academy

Parent: I love the impression this school has on my kid. These students are made to act like mature adults and members of society, making the impression that there is something amazing to be held in the small school. Teachers are very close to their students. Teachers also ensure that we can see our child's new grades every week, know any new event that is coming up, and we have our kids kept in line. My kid, specifically, is in something called the Galileo Program. This program makes it so that she can take high school classes when she's in 7th grade. When she will be in the 7th grade, she will be taking Spanish 1, Physical Science, and Algebra 1! Her teachers also tell me and my husband that she will be taking Biology 1 Honors, Geometry Honors, and Spanish 2 when she is in 8th grade! I love this school and I wish that every child could be a part of this wonderful community that the staff has created.
