Sophomore: I love the environment. It’s an incredibly diverse place. Everyone has a place there. The students are amazing and the teachers are definitely qualified for the job. They always respond quickly and teach amazingly. The school has so many resources that I can’t even count them all. They especially have a great college prep course. They constantly remind you and tell you to do research on colleges and to study for the past. Regarding the P-sat, they have many prep classes for it. Clubs and activities are a big part of the school. After-school, there’s constantly students on campus. If you think of any club, chances are that they have one. They have a great fine arts program. Classes range from guitar to dance and theater.Now for math and science they have specialized math competition classes and a pre-medical program. I love this school and am proud to say that I am a student there!... Read 695 reviews

Parent: University School is a place where any child can excel and truly be happy. I am continually impressed by the creative teaching methods that make learning fun and exciting at all levels. The connection to Nova Southeastern University is invaluable, offering hands on experiences and personal interactions in a wide variety of subjects. The school fosters an environment that encourages students to find their passions and to be good people, while also stressing the importance of giving back. My children absolutely love it!...

Parent: Our two kids came to Posnack a year ago, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. When selecting the school that would be the right fit for us, we were looking for a school that provides a high level of secular education while also instilling a love of Judaism.Possibly the most important factor for us was that a school would be our partner in teaching our children to be good people. Posnack has demonstrated a level of excellence in all of these categories. Our children are learning with enthusiasm and at a higher level than ever before.The teachers and administrators are doing a top notch job in assessing the students’ level and providing them with either enrichment or additional support. In addition, communication, attention to detail, and extra curriculum activities have been fantastic. Our kids are thriving both academically and socially. Thank you Posnack for everything you have done and continue to do for our children.May you continue to go from strength to strength!... Read 148 reviews

Alum: Miami Country Day School is one of the few places I will always be appreciative of due to the opportunities it has provided me with and bonds that I will cherish forever. Moving from another country and starting from what seemed like rock bottom made me nervous, but the school's diversity and inclusivity made me feel at home. Still being in touch with those who I met over 12 years ago when I started to making new bonds with those who joined senior year is truly special. The teachers want to see you succeed and reach the goals you set for yourself, making sure all resources are used. From providing the students with challenges to implementing what we learn into our everyday lives, Miami Country Day School ensures a community is maintained and its students thrive....

Parent: Scheck Hillel has been wonderful for our kids--the teachers care so much about them and are always willing to work with us to improve their learning experience based on each child's individual needs. From the very beginning of our time at Scheck Hillel 9 years ago we have felt like we are part of a family that cares about us and our children's well-being way beyond academics. The school's excellent secular and Judaic studies, as well as its emphasis on teaching values give us confidence that our kids will grow up to be successful, productive and contributing members of society. The longer we are there, the more confident we are that we made the right choice of schools in Scheck Hillel!... Read 212 reviews

Senior: Attending College Academy at Broward College was one of the best decisions I have ever made! It was difficult to choose to leave my original high school and move to this school, but ultimately it was worth it. College Academy gave me many opportunities to excel, learn, and improve academically. Through College Academy, you get a taste of college life, both academically and socially. Thanks to this, I feel sufficiently prepared for college. The staff and teachers are extremely welcoming and helpful and the environment was very enjoyable. Overall, it is a great school!...

Parent: Sagemont is incredible! My son started here in the middle of his 10th grade year. After a poor experience at another school, Sagemont has made him excited to go to school every day. He has made great friends at Sagemont and goes on about how wonderful the teachers are. His previous school experiences had taken away his confidence in himself and now going into 11th grade he just received all A's and B's and was recommended for 3 honors classes and is so excited for next year....

Senior: Raider Pride runs through the veins of every student, parent, faculty and alum here at Saint Thomas Aquinas. There are a plethora of sports, clubs, honor societies, and activities for everyone. While we are a school known for athletics, we are also known for our faith. Our campus ministry visits Catholic middle schools to inspire and strengthen the Catholic faith. As a STA senior, my preparation for college was definitely easier with the guidance counselors being available any time a question needed an answer. The teachers are very understanding, creating a safe atmosphere while also preparing us for college. I have no regrets in attending Saint Thomas Aquinas High School.... Read 717 reviews

Senior: McFatter was a wonderful school that I'm proud to say I attended. Teachers and Staff were willing to help you out if you ever asked and there were plenty of tutoring opportunities. Although we may not have a sports team or a proper band, we make up for it with plentiful clubs. The P.E. course was also very fun. They offer many AP courses that will all help complete your GEP requirements for college, as well as offer Dula Enrollment. The technical programs really are the star of the show. I'm coming out of high school already as a nurse! How cool is that? Anyone can go in and come out with many different certifications that can help you immediately find a better-paying job. Despite also being a college campus, the school takes extra precautions to keep the high school students and the college students separated and have plenty of officers on site if anything were to happen. And lastly, our fires and patty melts are to die for!... Read 447 reviews

Sophomore: Pompano Beach High is unique in it's devotion to cultural inclusiveness and appreciation, something that is very important to me in a school. From exchange student opportunities to cultural celebrations every month, there are so many opportunities to develop a global vision. Additionally, the programs and teachers are dedicated to see students succeed, offering several afterschool tutoring programs and unlimited resources to broaden your horizon. The staff and students are there to help you, and are constantly waving and smiling, creating such a positive atmosphere to learn in. The only downside is that there are several clubs, such as Model UN and DECA, that are not currently in place. It can be difficult to begin a club, especially finding advisors and members, but the existing clubs are truly amazing and a great way to meet new people. Overall, Pompano takes every student's needs into consideration with each educational and social aspect, so I'm glad I get to call myself an alumni!... Read 654 reviews

Parent: My son is a senior at Cushman. Having him prepared for college was an important factor when choosing his school. With a variety of AP classes offered and the small teacher to student ratio, he gets the benefit of challenging courses while working closely with an instructor who knows his abilities and challenges first hand. The teachers and staff are caring, always available and communicative whenever needed. The Cushman families are warm and friendly allowing for friendships to develop not only among the students, but parents as well. I highly recommend the school!... Read 40 reviews

The culture is family centric and guided by the word of God. By doing so, our children become well rounded individuals who are able to succeed in future endeavors due to the foundation instilled in them based on integrity and faith.

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.

Parent: My wife and I are parents to Beautiful twins who recently graduated Archbishop McCarthy. We love McCarthy not only for all the safety that was provided which helped our peace of mind but also for all the love and care that was given to our daughters in all their years at McCarthy. Also, the overall preparation for the next level was second to none. There are many examples that I could provide of how caring the teachers are in this wonderful school but in addition I have to acknowledge the staff members in administration since they also supported their growth in becoming confident young ladies.

Because of this school, I am graduating with my high school diploma and associate's degree for free. I am incredibly advanced in my academic career finishing two years of college in my junior and senior years of high school. The professors and counselors are always there for their students, ensuring they are on the right path and constantly aware of what's happening.

Junior: I have only attended West Broward High for the 3 years that I have been in high school but from my view, it is a fairly diverse campus that includes many different options for students looking to get involved in clubs and organizations. It offers a wide variety of AP courses that include STEM, literature, and the arts, and recently started up the AICE program last year. The school allows for students to create their own club of interest and even supports and encourages the promotion of these clubs through flyers within the halls, campus news announcements, and independent promotion from student leaders on social media. While an interactive school, the administration could do with a better teaching staff as many that I personally have experienced are either not qualified or organized with their subject or teaching style, or are consistently disrespectful and difficult with their students. Despite many reports on teachers, the school allows these instructors to continue as per usual.... Read 750 reviews

Junior: My experience has been great so far! It was not what I initially expected when I applied. If you are involved you will have fun. It is what you make it. Regarding school work, it is rigorous as you climb to each grade. I am a junior and have 5 hours of homework daily. Your homework depends on the type of classes you have. It is best to make sure your mental health is always best because sometimes it is the only way you will get through. Students all understand how the technical programs work and take this opportunity seriously. Even though you are with adults because it is a college they CAN NOT talk to you for safety reasons, which is why we wear uniforms as well. Lastly, bullying does not happen because everyone is nice. I give my school a 4 out of 5 because it could be better with educating us on how expensive college is and future fiances.... Read 272 reviews

Senior: Chaminade is a really good good overall with minor set backs. I like that here the high school experience forms the way young adults value academic learning. Also you built a new foundation of friends, where you may build a sister/brotherhood that will probably stick with you for the rest of your life. But if not then it still is a good experience for you to have in your journey to adulthood. At chaminade we laugh and have fun, but most importantly we value the importance of academic performance.... Read 113 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 327 reviews

Junior: My experience with NUIA was one with many milestones and achievements. I have been at that school for approximately 5 years and will continue to be there for my senior year. Since NUIA functions as a K-12 school, it functions as another family for students. It is a tight-knit community that provides support for its students through its accessibility of resources and the teachers that always have your back. NUIA is able to provide students with a proper education despite financial or social status and offers scholarships to those who need it. Money isn't a problem there for the administration only cares that a student tries his/her hardest to achieve their academic goals. NUIA also has diversity spread around its school campus and celebrates school culture with its many events that encourage school spirit and embracing one's culture. NUIA has provided many sources from students to attain their information and has excelled in its deliverance of educational experience and learning.... Read 34 reviews

Parent: My son started Nova in the 10th grade after spending a very disappointing year at Franklin High School, he will be graduating next June. Nova gave him focus, teachers were very focused, dedicated, the teacher retention rate is high, so there are very experienced people with the kids. A wide variety of sports, clubs, etc. Law Program is stellar. Debate is very aggressive and good for anyone interested in that path. I'm sure the other programs are equally good, these are the two I have most experience with. And swimming, been tough with Covid. The school is large, so if your child is not good with that, might be a bit difficult, but even so, my son did fairly well. He came from a 'small' school background, (Montessori and Charter Schools). I would highly recommend Nova High. And with any school, keep up with your kid, and it will work just fine. Good Luck to you and your student!... Read 954 reviews
