Senior: Having begun American Heritage as a junior in high school, it was nerve-wracking to enter a rigorous academic curriculum. However, each teacher was super encouraging and eager to help in any way possible. The theatre department at this school is UNMATCHED. The environment is healthy and the productions are simply incredible. Lastly, senior year is crazy, but the college advisors make it their goal to help each and every student stand out in their college applications. Definitely consider sending your kids here, you won't regret it!... Read 729 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 150 reviews

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

Junior: At College Academy the staff really is just rooting for the best in you. All the staff want you to become the best you academically, and mentally. It also helps that you graduate with an Associates Degree! When i first got accepted to College Academy i was scared, more than anything. But know i cant even believe i felt that way. I feel i have become a better person in the short time i have been at CA. Another great thing about CA is how many opportunities they find and teach you about. For example at general assemblies they have speakers talk about scholarships, summer trips like the NIHA project, and career growing extracurriculars such as Junior Achievement Career Bound. I jumped on the opportunity if JA career bound and it has been amazing! I have learned so much about how to plan, and go about my future career. JA also is setting me up with a paid summer internship at the moment as well! Overall i find CA to be an amazing school.... Read 954 reviews

Parent: Sagemont Prep School is not just a school, but rather a comprehensive educational experience. When you mention the word school, the mind goes immediately to academics. The Sagemont curriculum is both challenging and flexible. Small class sizes allow teachers to focus and cater to the individual needs of each student. Materials and lessons morph as students progress. The willingness of the staff to create challenging lessons that engage students is top notch. Students are encouraged to take an active role in learning through centers, discussions and projects. In other programs, electives are an afterthought. This is not the case at Sagemont Prep. Students are immersed in art, music, theater, language and sports from the very beginning. Elective lessons receive the same amount of depth and care as traditional subjects. I am grateful to have found Sagemont Prep. My son loves going to school!... Read 61 reviews

Senior: I love North Broward! The students who attend are super welcoming as well as the teachers. My favorite as a student was dissecting a fetal pig in anatomy class. I am super interested in science and that dissection truly made me want to go into surgery. At North Broward, I have been given many opportunities to become a leader in our school community. I am on leadership teams of multiple clubs and honors societies. I also got to lead a few events, my favorite being the Arbor Day Celebration National Honors Society had brought to our school. This past year was the first time this event was held and I had gotten the opportunity to lead it. We passed out 1000 bald cypress trees to the entirety of the high school in order to recognize and celebrate Arbor day. Overall, this school has taught me so much through academics as well as how to get involved in my community. I am very thankful to be surrounded by such a caring and resourceful school community....

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 718 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 664 reviews

Parent: Westminster Academy has been a blessing to our family for over a decade! My daughter received enough college credits while in high school to graduate college a year early. The activities, athletics, arts, clubs, and academics all offer "big-school" opportunities, while the size of the school creates a close-knit community where my children have thrived. The teachers care about each student—pushing them to achieve their best, but balanced so as not to overwhelm them. It is truly a blessing to have my children attend a school that reinforces our values.... Read 127 reviews

Parent: This school is amazing! I am a mother of four children. Two have graduated from CCA, and my last two are in high school. The college successes and scholarships my oldest two children have earned are a direct result of their time at CCA. The teachers pour love into everything they do while also holding the students to high standards. There is no better investment to be made! No matter where your child's interests lie, the arts, athletics, STEM, etc., they offer programs and classes for everyone all in top notch facilities with caring faculty and staff. But, best of all, they profess a Christian worldview and fulfill their mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ.... Read 181 reviews

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. I truly believe that this is the kind of school that allows every child to reach their full potentials, academic and otherwise.... Read 876 reviews

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. An excellent experience in all aspects!... Read 565 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 275 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 114 reviews

Alum: Cardinal Gibbons is a great environment where it truly feels like you are surrounded by family. Religion is the forefront, but they don't discriminate against people who aren't catholic. The teachers are INCREDIBLE. They are extremely dedicated to the educational growth of the students and are always ready to go out of their way to help the students. The school is a great place to make friends as well. They have frequent pep rallies with icebreakers. Welcome week is the best!! They have multiple dress-up days such as 60s and red and white day as well as senior baby day. Their academic course can be rigorous if one chooses an honor route, but not challenging to the point that it is overwhelming. Their AP classes are well taught with top-notch instructors. Also, their football team is amazing!!! They made it to States! And if you do stop by---please try their wraps!!... Read 322 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 330 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 35 reviews

Junior: At Nova High School, I am introduced to a wide diverse student body with many perspectives on issues and learning pathways that I feel is correctly handled at the school. Being in Broward county, I feel that Nova High School fully encapsulates not only the diversity of the county but the unique student situations that create better adapted teachers for various situations. At Nova High School, I am able to express myself, push myself academically, and build a community of friendships that last lifetimes. More important than our academics -although superior- Nova creates a strong community with plenty of clubs to assure ones' sense of belonging. Speaking on our academics, however we excel.
