Parent: The perfect school environment for our son. It's like Disneyland for jocks all year long. The school surpasses our expectations with gifted teachers and administrators with numerous honors & AP offerings. Every week my son is challenged in his sport and pushed to progress. During the summer, he only thinks positively about returning for pre-season and seeing his coaches and teammates again to get back to training. Amazing experience over the past three years at IMG Academy - one of the best decisions we've made!... Read 58 reviews

Parent: St. Stephens is a first-class college preparatory school from top to bottom. The academics are excellent, the teachers are caring and seem to really love the culture the administration has built up over the years. Facilities, resources for all different types of students, sports, extra-curriculars…all second to none! And cozy location right there in safe West Bradenton... Read 89 reviews

Freshman: My experience at this school has been nothing but great! The staff is tremendously helpful, the school's campus is always clean, and the classes are smaller which I prefer. The student body is also diverse which I find can be comforting for people like myself and others. Lastly, the school has done a great job practicing CDC guidelines and encouraging them to students. Students are required to wear a mask around campus and the school now offers plenty of online class options.... Read 171 reviews

Senior: I liked being involved in the basketball program there. The coaches and staff are extremely supportive and help us in areas other than our sport. They always say they are helping us become great men in our community. The thing that I would like to see change is an upgrade and remodel of the buildings and bathrooms. The bathrooms really need to be redone! Also, I would really like to see a change in their food options. A little more variety and healthier options would be great.... Read 386 reviews

Senior: Bradenton Christian School allowed me to enhance various aspects during my six years as a student. I was able to experience a great education while experiencing spiritual growth that I will be to carry on into my future. I had an enjoyable time surrounded with great classmates and teachers. I would hope that in the upcoming years BCS will be more flexible and encourage students to develop their creativity and ideas through engagement in class decisions, a broader variety of class options and club/activities. I can't wait to see what the future holds for BCS. GO PANTHERS!... Read 90 reviews

Senior: My experience at MSA was amazing! As the name states, it is an art school, so students are allowed to express themselves freely. Despite this, the academic part of MSA is so amazing! All the departments (especially the science department) works really hard to ensure that all students have a excellent learning experience! The teachers are willing to teach; and are so passionate about it. All the teachers care AND they want you to succeed. They also have AP classes, Duel enrollment, and early admissions classes for those that “choose that path.” One thing I would change at MSA for the better, is that there could be classes about Life lessons- like how to pay taxes and starting up your own business. Other than that, the councilors and certain teacher I have connected with have helped me become me.... Read 288 reviews

Senior: This school is simply transformative! I have grown as a person by finding my identity while strengthening my walk with Christ. The love poured into my life by my mentors the past 5 years of my attendance is priceless. My life has been impacted beyond measure through the care provided and family I have created at this school. I recommend this school to anyone who wants a personalized atmosphere and nurturing environment to learn and thrive in!... Read 10 reviews

Senior: I love my counsler and my teachers- senior year has been great. Braden River even has a unique school rule about not stepping on the grass within the courtyard. However, with that unusual rules come some more ridiculous ones. No leggings, no hair color, and basically no shorts. I say "basically no shorts" because it has to be well past your finger tip- or you risk getting called on it. Most of the student population ends up wearing jeans or sweats, but luckily they have great air conditioning!... Read 564 reviews

Junior: At Manatee High School, the teachers and administration have enabled me to be prepared to transition to college feeling prepared and excited and excited for my future. The staff has been more than kind, supportive, and encouraging in my learning experiences at MHS. I am particularly grateful for my experiences serving in Student Council through MHS Senate and Class Board. I was honored and thankful to receive the annual HOBY leadership award. Thank you Manatee High for providing a wonderful education academically, emotionally, and socially.... Read 310 reviews

Sophomore: Southeast High School has all the recourses a student needs to succeed. It has nearly all the electives you can get such as Culinary, Engineering, Agriscience, Business, Band, Art, Technology, Gym, Television studio, JROTC and many other influential classes. Along with the multiple electives, you also had very productive clubs and programs such the key club, TSA, IB Program, AP, AVID, and Health. The infrastructure may not be the best but there is a new capital improvement plan that will be happening very soon in the next school year that will expand the courtyard for a green space area as well as a new Art/Science building being added to make way for the new green space in the old building. The school has many benefits whether you are failing or thriving in your grades because there is always a solution that the school will be willing to help you get pass through difficult times. Diversity also plays a key role to bring a closer connection to the beauty of the outside world.... Read 339 reviews

Senior: I love the family aspect of my school. I have been there for ten years now and enjoy the teachers that work side by side with you. Because It is a small school you get the attention you need when it comes to schoolwork and extra help. It has really good Christian values, and love the hybrid style, half home half school....

Senior: The school is more hands on with students , people you meet there you get to know for the rest of your life til you leave that school. The school is also kindergarten through high school which makes it better because all your siblings can go to the same school. Although there aren’t many classes as a regular high school they still add new classes every year like acting and art history . The teachers there don’t give up on you until you pass which is like that with every single grade. This school makes it every single way easier and if your a senior they’ll make sure you have everything for colleges or technical schools. Also if you pass your fsa tests you get paid for passing , it depends on your grade. Let’s say you get 5 it’s $300 or a perfect score which is $1000 , lowest is a 3 for $50. Overall this school is a good school from any grade range and are also opening a new campus for high school and middle school next year.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: My son had an excellent experience at King Middle School. As an advanced student, he was challenged in every class. The teachers were great at knowing how far to push him to excel. When he found classes boring or mundane, he was given extra work that was more advanced so that he continue to learn. He loved it as a student and I was very happy with his middle school experience.... Read 3 reviews
