Senior: Going to Trinity was one of the best decisions I ever made. The teachers are phenomenal and always willing to guide you. The academics are top notch, you’ll be pushed out of your comfort zone but nothings ever impossible. The campus is beautiful and has been a great place to spend the past 7 years. Where Trinity falters a bit is diversity (what else would you expect from a private school), but the administration has been working to address that for the past couple of years. It’s easy to make friends, but it tends to be very cliquey (as you’d expect from a private school). Our sports teams are hit or miss, but it’s always a great experience to cheer on the Saints to victory in football, soccer, basketball, swimming, volleyball, and so much more!...Read 195 Reviews

Parent: We relocated from Miami to Central Florida in the middle of a pandemic. My children attended public schools in Miami with mixed results. Therefore, we decided to give Lake Mary Prep a chance and it has not disappointed. The classes are small and the teachers are well prepared in terms of education level, experience, and leadership and they communicate regularly with parents. Teachers are available before and after school for tutorials which give students the opportunity to ask questions and go over material- so there are no excuses! The administration is equally approachable. ...My children made friends easily and were able to try different sports. In fact they were encouraged to do regardless of their skill level. The academic load is tailored to the student so, even when challenging, it is still doable. This was especially important to us as both our children have ADD and 504 plans. ... Despite our initial hesitation, Lake Mary Prep has exceeded our expectations. It feels like family!Read 24 Reviews

Senior: I have attended the Geneva School since my sixth grade year. The welcoming loving environment was clear to me even on my first day. The teachers genuinely care about not only your academic success but also your overall wellbeing. Because it is a Christian school, the teachers incorporate their faith into the curriculum in each class. Among the students, there is a community that not only accepts and involves everyone, but also seeks to create lasting and meaningful relationships with their classmates. The academics are definitely challenging, but the teachers prepare you well for all tests and assessments. The curriculum is designed in such a way that you are set up for success, but it still stretches you and makes you think and consider big questions. The campus itself is beautiful and full of all kinds of amenities and sports fields. As I anticipate leaving my seven years at this school, I feel that I am extremely well prepared for my coming years in college...Read 86 Reviews

Alum: Bishop Moore Catholic High School offers a quality education that genuinely reaps benefits. The teachers are all dedicated to their students and want them to succeed. Students stress with the overwhelming workload at times, but the motivation to succeed is tremendous. ...In my opinion, students get what they put into the school. The effort they exert amounts to future opportunities. As an alum, I can confidently say every type of student can be found at BMCHS, but the amount of driven students willing to work to achieve their goals is the most distinctive. Many resources are available on campus for students to utilize, but not all of them are. The College and Career Center is one of these. The staff helps with resume building, college search and application process, mock job interviews, scholarship search, and other career-related services for all students.

Senior: Overall, I have enjoyed my experience at Forest Lake Academy very much. It has been a great opportunity for me to springboard my spiritual life and to make friends with good values. The teachers are obviously very Godly people who genuinely care about the well-being of their students. There is a wide variety of extracurricular activities to participate in. Even throughout the pandemic, it is clear that the staff is trying hard to invent creative events to please the students. I can't say that the academics are necessarily the greatest, but if you are a hard working student there should be no problem. Forest Lake Academy is a wonderful, religious community to be involved in. Although it has its cons, it is still a respectable Seventh-Day Adventist school. If you are religious, it is a school definitely worth considering...Read 132 Reviews

I am very dedicated to things I get passionate about.

Middle School Student: I have been attending Carrollwood Day School for the majority of my life, and I can confidently say that there is no better environment than CDS. All of the teachers genuinely care about you and push you to succeed in and out of the classroom. Since CDS is an IB school, class sizes are small (no more than 18 students), enriching, and truly prepare you for college. CDS also offers a wide array of sports and has a strong arts program offered at every grade level, with music, theater, and visual art options for electives. Recently, CDS built a brand-new athletic complex and gymnasium accompanied by a weight room, and a new building is being built at the moment, expanding the Middle School/Upper School campus. The faculty and staff at CDS are incredibly welcoming and kind; once I forgot my lunch in the car and when a teacher noticed, they didn't hesitate to buy me a lunch from FLIK (our dining service). Overall, I strongly recommend Carrollwood Day School for any family looking to enroll!...Read 99 Reviews
