    #1 Best School Districts in Miami Area

    Alum: I have attended PBC from the ages of 6 to 17 PBC is a great place for children/students to get the education that they need to succeed in adulthood. High school to middle schools offer many programs to prepare students! PBC schools offer programs in mechanical engineering, culinary arts, medical, criminal justuce, cosmetology, JORTC, early childhood education and more. What's better than schools that prepare your child to enter the work force before or after highschool [some even offer internships]! Being a student of PBC enabled me to particpate in dual programs in high School all 4 years which gave me multiple certifications, and a great job opportunity and multiple scholarships. The ocmpetitiveness of my PBC shcool also prepared me well for the high academic standards of college. Speaking for every student and parent in PBC the change I believe PBC schools does need to improve in implicating greater saftey and security measures.

    #2 Best School Districts in Miami Area

    Alum: Miami Dade County Public Schools overall is great. Depending on the school you decide to attend, academically and everything else is different for every school and area. Personally, the high school I attended, Doral Academy, is very different from most schools. In my opinion, they have excellent academics and because it is a preparatory school, graduating from here made me confident because I knew I was extremely prepared for college. Doral Academy is filled with amazing teachers and students and because we are in Miami it is super diverse throughout the staff and students. As for clubs and activities, Doral Academy is a fun experience with many club options and school activities that are always happening throughout the year. Sports are big in this school and if you play a sport you should definitely consider joining a team! The school itself is always nice and clean and continuing to grow with friendly security and faculty.

    #3 Best School Districts in Miami Area

    Alum: My experience at my Broward County Public School: Pompano Beach High School was overall amazing! I feel completely ready for college because of the pace and rigor of the curriculum. The teachers did a phenomenal job at preparing us for college professors while still accounting for the fact we are teenagers. My teachers had great personalities that made students feel comfortable when expressing themselves. One issue I had was the racial tension at the school amongst students. We’ve had problems combatting the excessive use of racial slurs that make the minority students feel very unsafe while trying to pursue their high school education. It is very important that school is seen as a safe place to expand your mind and not a place you fear due to racial discrimination.
