Senior: I've been at Mount Dora Christian Acadamy for about 2 years now, and I love it here! The community is great, the teachers are awesome, and it's amazing to be able to go to school in a Christ-focused environment. I highly recommend being a part of MDCA!... Read 59 reviews

Alum: As a former student of this school (class of 14') I can highly recommend this school. As it is a magnet school, the admissions process is more selective than other public schools in the area but the school itself pulls students from a much larger area (students do not have to "be zoned" for this school to attend it). I thoroughly enjoyed attended my time here as a student. Although this school does not offer sports (there are many great club programs around the area, and besides, not many standalone elementary schools offer them), there are many other programs that can cater to your children's needs (an award wining robotics program, a STEM team, etc.). My only gripe was with the school's after school care program (mainly the staff), and the lack of a music/arts program. If you are looking for an elementary school with good curriculum and student body, this is the school for you!... Read 1 review

Parent: My children have attended Imagine for 9 years. We moved to Lake county for the sole purpose of having our daughters attend this school and we have never regretted this decision. The teachers are amazing - students are truly valued and known personally by every teacher. The academic rigor is outstanding, one of the very few A schools in the county. My children have excelled and their state test scores have been high across the board. I love the school's attention to character and building great citizens of our community. So many doors have opened for our family because of this school. If you want your child to have the best education by the most caring of teachers, this is the school for you!... Read 18 reviews

Alum: My experience at Eustis High School was undoubtedly a great one. One thing in particular that stood out to me about Eustis High School was the staff. Whether it is, for example, a teacher or counselor, the staff at Eustis High School is going to take care of you. The teachers at Eustis High School are awesome. My favorite classes were in social studies; the social studies department largely was the reason for this (they, along with the rest of the teaching staff are phenomenal educators and greatly knowledgeable of their subject areas). The counselors are unexplainably helpful; for example, one of the most intimidating things to do is transition from grade school to college; the counselors make sure to take the time to sit down and guide you through the many, new processes. If I could recommend a change, it would simply be to improve the appearance of the campus, but without a doubt, Eustis High School remarkably excels with the resources available. Outstanding school!... Read 297 reviews

Senior: My experience at First Academy Leesburg has been amazing. Since my freshmen year of high school each teacher and administrator has guided me to where I am today. Since First Academy is a college prep school, I feel as if I will have a head start in my college classes. I recommend sending your child to First Academy for an extraordinary classroom experience.... Read 57 reviews

Senior: My experience at Tavares High School I would describe as an interesting one. My class were freshmen when the pandemic first hit, so my time at high started off on rocky grounds. Despite this seemingly impossible situation the teachers at this school made it their rightful duty to ensure that we were still getting the education deemed necessary. Countless power points, guided notes, interactive assignments, these outstanding teachers did not let this one thing stop them from doing their job. As a student going through this change it was definitely an adjustment to make but with the help of the teachers and staff I successfully made it through and I am looking to graduate in just a few months. There are many things one could say about this school but they cannot say that this team hasn't tried and isn't trying to make this school a better place, both academically and socially....

Senior: Liberty Christian Prep is a school where you make lifelong friends and the teachers/staff truly care about you and want you to grow. The connections I have made at Liberty have encouraged me to go to a Christian college where I can grow my faith and help grow the faiths of others. Everyday at school is amazing. The classes never seem to bore and there is always fun to be had. I have played both volleyball and basketball where I learned good leadership qualities and good sportsmanship skills. At LCP you grow not only academically, but in your faith. All the skills and experiences I have learned and had at Liberty will last a lifetime. My LCP experience has been truly amazing and life altering. I can accurately and truthfully say I will be honored to have graduated from LCP.... Read 33 reviews

Senior: I have attended HDA since kindergarten in 2008. I am now a senior preparing to graduate this spring. Enrolling me in this school must be one of the best decisions my parents made for me. I am sure at the time they did not know what this new school would mean to their five-year-old child. Like every other parent, they hoped to find a school that their child would love and be successful in. Little did they know this place would become my second home. It is more than your ordinary school. They are a family founded on Christ. With Christ being the center of everything we do, including our academic studies, HDA has helped push my faith stronger every year. At Hampden, you will find the most caring faculty and staff. The classes are small making it possible for teachers to have their one-on-one time with you. Creating genuine, deeply-rooted friendships is very easy here. Hampden DuBose Academy is a place for academic, spiritual, and physical growth.... Read 26 reviews

Niche User: Crucial stepping stone in my education that truly laid the groundwork for future academic success. Faith could not have left me better prepared for freshman year and beyond. Teachers push students to be the best, and a tight-knit community provides not only a better education, but also better integration into the school's environment.... Read 3 reviews
