Junior: I have very few complaints regarding West Shore. I have had a very successful high school career so far and am very grateful for my teachers. Although I have had a few difficulties here and there with teachers, almost all of the teachers at West Shore are very understanding, supportive and caring.... Read 296 reviews

Senior: Edgewood Junior Senior High School is perfect for students looking to be challenged academically. The Honors and Advanced Placement course offerings are superior to most other schools in the district. The teachers and administration are committed to supporting students and helping them to achieve their potential. It is a great place to grow and learn and there are so many clubs and activities, many of which meet during the extended lunch times. I would love to see Edgewood's athletics grow to include more sports. Although several middle and high school sports are sponsored, many "traditional" high school sports are not offered, such as football, baseball and wrestling.... Read 350 reviews

Parent: My son has been going to EH since VPK now in 3rd grade. School is fantastic. Very small and Principal knows every student. Principal is very engaging and happy. I didn't give it 5 stars because it is a bit outdated with playground equipment and extra curricular activities. Also, for such a small school there seem to be communication problems with teachers, students, principal, and parents.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: I definitely flourished in the setting provided by MICS in a way that I never would have had I continued at the public schools. I participated in more clubs, sports, other extracurricular activities than I would have been able to elsewhere. I was never discouraged from trying something new, and built strong relationships with most of my teachers who took genuine interest in each of their students' wellbeing.... Read 56 reviews

Parent: WMSS is a fantastic school. The principal and staff work hard to provide a safe and nurturing educational environment. In addition to having exceptional teachers, they offer a variety of very enriching and rewarding programs such as Odyssey of the Mind, Future Problem Solvers International Program, First Lego League, Chess, etc… The school is made up of very involved parents with talented, bright, hard-working kids. Finally, communication with the teachers and principal has been outstanding. The principal works very hard to make WMSS the best school in the county. She truly loves her job and it shows every day you see her at car loop. 😊... Read 3 reviews

Senior: My years at Rockledge High School are not portrayed in any movie. I admit that there are ups and there are downs in everyone’s experience in high school, but I believe my experience has been influential in my upbringing. I’m not only more confident as a senior but I am ready for the real world. Having amazing teachers and administration always there, dedicating their time for our future. I have grown in many ways and I am grateful to be a student at Rockledge High-school. I’m grateful to be able to call myself a Rockledge Raider!... Read 456 reviews

Parent: Freedom 7 Elementary has such a unique and wonderful approach to learning. They truly create life long learners who are inspired to do their best and really understand the material. The kids are not just memorizing facts for tests. They teach the kids how to be inquirers and how to be reflective in their learning. The teachers and administration are happy to be part of this school and genuinely know and care about the students here.... Read 3 reviews

Parent: Viera Charter School is a premiere elementary and middle school! As a parent, I cannot say enough great things about the teachers. They really care about their students' education and well being. We are a military family, and we feel that VCS is truly a village and everyone is watching out for all our children. Apart from the fantastic teachers, the admin works tirelessly to bring the best possible curriculum to the school. We have programs in place such as AVID and Cambridge, that make the school's learning environment so successful. Viera Charter also has a great School Resource Office, who goes above and beyond for the kids there. There is also a great amount of clubs and sports, for all ages! We are very fortunate to live in a district with such wonderful schools and teachers. But, I think VCS is just above the rest with their teachers, curriculum, and activities for all grades. It's definitely worth looking into to. I am grateful and blessed we chose this school for our girls.... Read 3 reviews

Junior: I've had an okay experience at Odyssey. I have been at Odyssey for 5 years, and it has been the best and worst time of my life there. There are teachers there that you can talk to and who care about you, which is a rare characteristic of a teacher. Odyssey is a green school, so all of the food is healthy, and some of the fruits and vegetables come from the garden. I feel like parents should bring their kids to Odyssey for middle school because when it comes to high school, you're more restricted, other public high schools are "freer" and better prepare you for the real world, unlike Odyssey. One of my favorite parts is our new principle, Mr. Davis, he shows he wants this school to change, and for the better, and he's trying, and I applaud him for that.... Read 40 reviews

Middle School Student: Ronald McNair Magnet School has an amazing performing arts program. For a fact, McNair is the best middle school for the arts. McNair is an A rated school. It is also the only middle school that has a dance team. McNair has a college prep class called AVID, which stands for Advancement Via Individual determination. That is what I love about McNair. What I would like to see chance is the cafeteria food. Meaning less processes food and more home made foods.... Read 4 reviews
