Senior: After switching from my old elementary school to this school, I found it to be a drastic change. There are different buildings for each category of students (elementary, middle, high) and they're not all that big, however, the intelligence and diversity of this school make up for it! I've made friends of many different cultures and I've never met so many people who are of the same culture as me. I take college classes in addition to my high school classes, and I'm even graduating a year early to get a headstart on college. This school is primarily A student, and 90% of the teachers actually care about their students and prioritize their education. I love my teachers, I could never ask for better ones. Overall, this school is very hard-working, diverse, and the extracurriculars focus on STEM-related activities, but they have cultural and even athletic clubs, too!... Read 182 reviews

Junior: My overall experience at Florida State University has been one of unique and worthwhile endeavors. I believe getting accustomed to a school that is hours away from home has been the most challenging part of the experience, but overall it has made me the person I am today. I've found independence and learned more about myself in this way. I believe the best part of this experience is forming connections through campus I would've never once done. Now, I have people in my life that I can see being part of the rest of my college journey and life.... Read 797 reviews

Alum: My experience at SCFCS was a great one! I have attended this school from 6th grade to 12th grade. I love the teachers; they are always willing to help, and they are fair for the most part. Also, the program comes with the ability to take dual enrolled credits is very helpful. The one issue I have with the school is their little assistance when it comes to informing/preparing the students with the PSAT/SAT.... Read 186 reviews

Senior: It is an incredibly diverse school! The teachers are all qualified and value the education of their students. The campus is spacey and safe. It is also directly next to a public library, allowing a large variety of resources for learning and research. There is also a theatre of the performing arts run by the city of campus, which is often used by the school. Performances are put on frequently and with good quality due to the city facility. There is a large variety of classes and extracurriculars available. There's something for every kind of student. I truly believe that this is the kind of school that allows every child to reach their full potentials, academic and otherwise.... Read 876 reviews

Middle School Student: Seminole Science is a great school because the teachers are very nice and care about their students. Academically, the material is easy to understand and when it is tough, the teachers help with understanding it. The students are also very friendly as well. Overall, Seminole Science is a very great school!... Read 18 reviews

Senior: Charter won't fail you! As long as you are actively communicating with your teachers and admin, you'll have one of the best experiences. Admin truly cares about the student body and is invested in their success. Some teachers can be difficult to deal with, but at the end of the day, there's always someone you can go to for advice or just to decompress. The athletics are pretty solid too, especially our girls' teams! The culture cultivated by majority of our teams are so unique because it's so family centered. The clubs offered are also pretty solid! Many of them would look great on college resumes and others are great to be apart of for the inclusivity component. Another great thing about Charter, if a club isn't offered, it's super easy to start one. In fact, admin encourages it!... Read 330 reviews

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!...

Junior: Pineapple Cove is a beautiful and welcoming community. The school is an A rated public charter school and they truly live up to that title. 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. The school community is uplifting, familial and a true gem in the public school system for both students and teachers.... Read 4 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

Parent: The teachers make the difference here. They help the students find and develop their areas of strength while helping students work on areas of weakness by offering before or after-school tutoring for students, rewriting opportunities within their writing program, a math program that promotes different methods to problem solving, and leadership opportunities....

Senior: I attended both Seaside (the middle school) and Seacoast (the high school). Overall I’ve had a really good experience with the teachers, staff, administration, and students. There aren’t any major downfalls of the school! But ironically you can be very limited in some aspects of resources/activities and have an abundance of resources/activities within a different area. For instance, both schools have only 1-2 sports available however the provide you the resources to try out and play the sports at the public middle and high school. Again, overall great schooling options! But doesn’t fit everyone’s needs and wants in a middle school/high school experience.... Read 15 reviews

Parent: My daughter is in her first year of attending RCSA and is in the 8th grade. My wife and I have been extremely pleased with the entire experience including the quality of the teachers, the leadership provided by the administration, and the opportunities for our daughter to participate in advanced classes such as honors biology and geometry. The level of communication from the teachers as well as the school is excellent with weekly RCSA newsletters and weekly progress reports regarding our daughters academic progress. Most importantly we value the culture that is deeply embedded within and throughout the entire RCSA community. We are thankful to have found RCSA and looking forward to our daughter transitioning into the RCSA high school next year!... Read 124 reviews

Sophomore: I love Dayspring. This school has changed my life for the better. I started off a poor mid boy in the Verandas. My education was second class at River-Ridge but then, it all changed. My shining light and grace, Dayspring Academy brings joy and happiness into my life each and every day. I love how interactive the work is, and the way students can get involved. The teachers could be professors at Harvard or Princeton but chose us over fame. The sacrifices made by staff for our well-being inspire me to rise up to the occasion, and fulfil my calling towards being a teacher at Dayspring Academy.... Read 22 reviews
