Parent: Oak Hall is an incredible place to work! The close knit community is a welcoming and supportive environment of educators and families. Both of my children attend Oak Hall and it makes my heart happy to know they are in a nurturing, safe, and academically rigorous school that will help them reach their full potential. Oak Hall is also a place where teachers voices are heard and their needs are met. This outstanding support gives teachers the opportunity to make their students the priority! As a parent I want to know that my child is learning academics, but also how to be a kind and respectful human that cares about the needs of others. Do yourself a favor and tour Oak Hall School...your children's lives will be forever changed.... Read 56 reviews

Alum: Excellent high school located conveniently in Alachua county. Although it is a Catholic school it is not exclusive to only Catholic students, and there are a number of students who attend who do not identify as Catholic. Regular, honors, and AP courses are all offered here, and all of the faculty and staff and well-prepared to form students into future leaders and role models in the community. An education at Saint Francis Catholic Academy (formerly St. Francis Catholic High School) is an education that you don't want to miss!... Read 92 reviews

Senior: It's overall a very nice school, however there are some teachers who aren't very good. The only other problem is the lack of attention the Guidance Counselor gives to the seniors who need her help the most. The school is pretty diverse but kids tend to stick with people within their own Academy and hardly ever make friends with others. Loften is a wonderful school, it's small so everyone basically knows everyone and there are never any fights. The only problems we have are kids occasionally breaking small rules and getting ISS. Personally, I know that me and a good majority of the other students don't like having to wear academy uniforms, especially during summertime, the uniforms are hot and living in Florida it only makes it worse....

Senior: Cornerstone Academy in Gainesville Florida gave me an education that I will remember. I started in the 9th grade and finished as a senior. The teachers I studied under helped me understand the material and I always had the opportunity to talk to them after class to get help. The Christian Atmosphere helped me grow closer to God as well as those around me. Would highly recommend Cornerstone Academy to any parents who want their children to grow in knowledge and faith....

Alum: An overall good school with Biblically-based education. Students have to opportunity to involve themselves in Forensics and Debate, Drama Club, the Honors Society, and many other extracurricular activities. The math, science, and history courses were especially beneficial due to the great teachers. I did wish that the college readiness and the music and art departments were a bit more developed. Generally, however, my experience at the Rock was enjoyable and I made long-lasting friends and companions.... Read 31 reviews

Freshman: The best experience I have had with the school. The teachers are truly amazing! Since the school has a smaller size, it is easier to connect with the teachers. Everyone, there is so hardworking and caring. I have gone back since I graduated from elementary school to volunteer because I love the atmosphere and it feels like home. As the school has grown, they have brought in even more hands-on resources and incorporate more technology into the lessons. The school is very well rounded in every aspect.... Read 1 review

Senior: This will be my 4th year at Santa Fe high school. I went into this high school knowing most of the students because I live in a small town. Like most high schooler, transitioning from middle school is quite scary because of the new environment. Once I started school there, I became extremely comfortable and confident in my presence. Santa Fe provides me a safe space to express myself. Even through the Covid pandemic, the teachers and staff cater to the students needs and best interest. One thing I would change about my high school is the amount of student say. The student government is an excellent way to get involved but I wish more of the students had a say over out of school events such as pep rallies and senior activities. All and all, Santa Fe high school has helped me get through high school.... Read 194 reviews

Junior: This High School offers a wide range of opportunities. It is rated an A school and has help this title for many years. The staff are very accommodating and the counselors are always there to help . The teachers are kind and very helpful. The campus is building onto its previous foundation to expand and create more opportunities for its students. A student can select an academy ranging from Engineering to Information Technology to Agricultural practices. It offers a dual enrollment program to help kids get ready for college and take course. There are many resources available such as tutors. This school has a wide range of clubs and sports for every student. There is a zero tolerance for bullying and is taken very seriously. I would like to see my school achieve everything it is striving for and to keep helping shape the minds of the future.... Read 80 reviews

Senior: Countryside Christian School prioritizing giving students a loving environment where they are given a Christ-centered education. At CCS students are able to do school work at their own pace. I personally found this helpful because I was able to work a whole year ahead in my school work. I now duel-enroll and will be graduating with my A.A. degree at Santa Fe college while simultaneously graduating high school from CCS. AT CCS I've gained life long friendships. The school is K-12 and some of the friends I made in kindergarten are still my best friends today. The teachers and staff at CCS are caring and want to see students thrive. Some of the most genuine people I have ever met work at this school. The truly care not just about their education, but also their well being and relationship with God. I am now a senior at CCS and I believe it shaped me to be a great student and even better member of the community... Read 6 reviews
