Junior: I just wanted to give a shoutout to my high school, Trinity Prep. It's seriously the best school ever! The teachers are amazing and give excellent instruction to help us succeed. They're always there to help and provide guidance when we need it. One thing I really love about Trinity Prep is the positive vibe on campus. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, which makes it a great place to learn and grow. The teachers also create personalized learning plans for each student, so we can focus on our strengths and work on areas where we need improvement. In addition to academics, Trinity Prep offers so many fun extracurricular activities like sports, music, and drama. There's never a dull moment at this school! Overall, Trinity Prep is seriously the best high school ever! I'm so grateful for the amazing education and opportunities I've had here.

Parent: My children LOVE this school – from the teachers to the students to the challenging curriculum. (SN) integrates compassion into their teaching standards, emphasizes the importance of values, and builds leaders through each of their classes and lessons. Though it is a small school, it allows for a lower student to teacher ratio, giving children more confidence when asking questions, engage in group activities, and opportunities for one-on-one time with the teachers. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. They are so great about sharing moments of pride they see within your child – their good behaviors and achievements; and they know the importance of getting the parents involved should an issue arise, and do it in a very respectful, approachable manner. Great team – great school!... Read 116 reviews

Senior: Great opportunities for students to get involved at school, from clubs, to academics, sports and arts! Teachers are supportive and well educated. IB Program is strong! Boarding program slightly disorganized (my boarding friends are unhappy). New leadership this year taking the school in a completely new direction from where it's been the last 15....

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 179 reviews

Senior: Being a part of the first graduating class of this school has been such a wonderful experience! I was even lucky enough to witness the state of the art institution being built from the ground up. With college level laboratories and a maker space that has tons of equipment, going to this school has been a great experience! While the school has an undeniably rigorous course load, this has made me feel extremely prepared for any college I may pursue in the future. Clubs and organizations are also a huge part of school life with every club being student run. If you have the opportunity to attend this school, you will find an amazing campus culture that feels like a second home. Teachers and administration alike are always ready to lend a hand to students in both their academic and even personal life. Overall, if you have any interest in the realm of science, technology, engineering, or math, this school is the perfect place for you!... Read 29 reviews

Freshman: The First Academy is an exhilarating school with tons of fun around every corner! TFA is a perfect example of a school with a Christ centered focus while also striving to find the best educational plan possible for every student. TFA brings the best out of every student wether it’s through academic strength, sports, leadership committees, or the fine arts program! Alongside everything, all the teachers and staff are the friendliest; most caring people you will meet! Without fail, everyone part of the TFA administration works diligently to bring students closer to our Lord and introduce them to new and exciting ways to prepare for life ahead of them. I am honored to be a student at a school the Lord has so generously blessed! Thank you TFA and go royals!... Read 234 reviews

Alum: Historic layout, familial ties, incredible spirit for all the sports and 100% inclusion for all people. That’s the best way to describe the feel of the school. So many programs available it’s impossible to take part in each one. I chose guitar and learned to read music and play at a high level. My cousin chose engineering and a my sister culinary arts. I’d say we have the bases covered! My mom graduated 29 years ago from my school and had her name and a brief quote carved into fresh concrete. She passed away last year so everyday I get to walk by her “square” and see her name in her handwriting. Winter Park High School loves to stay connected to its past and it alumni and you can tell just by listening to the passion about the school in my family’s and friend’s voices. It’s easy to get nostalgic even now. I haven’t left yet for college but ache for lunchtime outside under the trees with my cousin, sister and friends. I can’t wait to recreate one of so many many moments!... Read 709 reviews

Alum: As a graduated student of Windermere High School, I can say my experience was great! The school has quite a lot of events and clubs to attend to, such as dances and festivals. The teachers and faculty members are mostly helpful when assistance is needed and communication is efficient. The environment is overall friendly and welcoming, and people are willing to lend a hand. While the place isn't perfect and has its flaws, it's a school I can definitely look back on fondly. It's a place where students can go and discover their interests as well as their desired path, and also a place to make good memories with many friends to make.... Read 168 reviews

Senior: Amazing school with a lot of opportunities! Tons of clubs and classes. The staff is always helpful and encouraging. If your open to try new thing there is so many new classes. The college and career center will make sure that you are on the right track and help guide you in the right direction. Other than just academics they have amazing team sports from football, theater, lacrosse and from what I hear an amazing marching band program. The before school and after school tutoring is an amazing opportunity to help when needed or catch up on any work you may have missed. I am sure I am a little bias but the school was an amazing four years.... Read 1,277 reviews

Parent: We have three children in three different grades that all have attended Geneva since K4. This school is top notch! Geneva seeks to provide a Christ-centered strong academic education. They do it very well. The community of families is the very best around Central Florida. They provide many ways for parents to interact with each other by grade level. My children have thrived at this school. The solid relationships with friends and teachers has been instrumental in their learning experience. The teachers care for the students as if they were their own. Teachers are approachable and loving. The variety of athletics at the school have grown over the past several years. It has been exciting to see the school grow but maintain its solid focus on Christian Classical education.... Read 88 reviews

Junior: CFP is a family environment. A place where everybody knows everybody, no ones a stranger. I have been at CFP for almost 15 years, and i love the education, the teachers, and the fact that the school has giving me life long friends! The downside would be the lack of sports and the food (the food is terrible to be honest). We used to have a diversity of sports but know we are limited to two. I would highly recommend sending your child here for a good education and giving them the chance/opportunity to make some life time friends.... Read 26 reviews

Senior: Orangewood Christian is not only academically challenging but also highly focused on Christian values and creating disciples of Jesus. There is a mixed culture of students finding their journeys as Christians, new or familiar with the fair, and faculty passionate about the God they serve and their students. Academically, Orangewood offers high-level classes, including AP and Duel-Enrollment, and a wide array of electives in sports and fine arts. While some things are in still in progress to expand the school and create an effective atmosphere, Orangewood Christian continually encourages and produces students of excellence in academics and character....

Senior: I spent all four years of high school at Olympia and I enjoyed it a lot. The biggest reason is the number of opportunities that are given at the school. There are several AP classes, a few dual enrollment options, trade classes such as culinary and agriculture, many sports, even more clubs, and fantastic programs. The education there is also pretty good, and compared to other schools there is a lot on campus that's conducive to a successful learning environment. It is in a good area and there is a good amount of safeguards to make people feel secure. The campus itself looks good and it is fairly easy to navigate. Most of the teachers and staff there are nice and do their jobs. They make it feel like they want you to succeed, and they have a lot of support for students there. There are a lot of events done with clubs, sports, and the arts that help to give every student a chance to find their place in the school. The students do feel important here which is necessary for a good school.... Read 776 reviews

ICS and its amazing teachers have helped to foster in me a love for school. I wish we had more courses in AP science, and science in general. Overall I love my school and if I had to go back, I would not have gone anywhere else.... Read 74 reviews

It's definitely a school that continues to strive for excellence and is ahead of the game in all aspects from education to athletics to facilities. Most importantly, my children receive their Catholic faith in every facet of teaching and will carry this with them on their future paths. GO HORNETS!... Read 313 reviews

Parent: This school has changed my son's life. Before coming here his schooling experiences had left him feeling defeated and spirit broken. He was not challenged nor was he allowed to excel. Socrates Prep has allowed him to spread his wings and fly. This school nurtures the whole child and embraces the reality that children need to grow not only academically but socially and emotionally as well. My son not only likes school, he now loves it! The teachers and staff are exceptionally dedicated to the art of educating and care deeply for the students and are committed to making sure they succeed. Our family is so grateful to have found such a positive learning environment.... Read 7 reviews

Parent: My kids love this school because there is no homework. My kids are so happy because they have good friends and many challenging projects at the school. At first I was skeptical with the no homework thing. However, they aced all their standardized tests. My kids love this school so much that I threatened them with "if you don't do your piano there will be no school tomorrow." They hurried to practice their piano lessons with that simple threat....

Senior: I had a fantastic experience during my four years at Lake Nona High School. I could participate in many clubs, engage myself in high-level courses, play competitive team sports, and partake in fun school activities. Along with my high school workload, I was able to take dual enrollment courses at the University of Florida and Valencia College. Most of my professors and teachers were able to provide me with an immense amount of support and resources in order to succeed. Aside from classes, I joined multiple extracurriculars such as being the President of the Psychology Honor Society, President of the Always Wear Your Seatbelt Club, secretary of the National Honor Society, etc. In addition, I played on the JV/Varsity volleyball team for three years. These activities allowed me to make irreplaceable bonds thus encouraging me to partake in Friday night football games, homecoming dances, and multicultural nights. With each of these experiences, I was able to enjoy my time at Lake Nona.... Read 784 reviews
