Miami Country Day School

  Rating 4.01 out of 5  87 reviews

Junior: I love Country Day for the teachers and resources we have! However, I would say that it is not hard to find someone acting spoiled and snobby within the student body. This is a given considering most students at the school are wealthy and have been lavished with excellent education since birth. It is annoying at times, though, to see students not appreciate the resources and teachers we have. Miami Country Day does a more than great job at preparing for college and for growing our intellectual minds in and outside the classroom!...Read 87 Reviews

Alum: Hillel is Home is plastered around campus, and it truly is. I have found a family for life during my time there, a community which I will take with me everywhere. The school instills Jewish values and top-notch secular learning, as well as making sure the students find success and happiness in everything they do. The campus is super nice and very outdoors.

  Rating 4.38 out of 5  185 reviews

Junior: Not the conventional American high school but an extremely solid place for an education that especially prepares you for the future and the college transition. Small in size, select amount of classes and not a solitary establishment, the campus is divided across several buildings where students can immerse themselves in the downtown area of Miami and also enroll in dual college classes. Overall, I've had a pretty enriching educational experience at this school for the past year, and while the school isn't the largest or most abundant in terms of class options and high school culture, there are lots of benefits regarding higher education and the rite of passage into college...Read 185 Reviews

Senior: Going to SAS has been the best choice I have made during my high school years. It’s given me the opportunity to have a regular high school experience (dances, clubs, homecoming, prom, field trips, etc…) while earning my AA degree. My schedule has been flexible allowing me to achieve in all high school and college class. The accessibility and guidance from the SAS counselor is unparallel! It is the best school in all Miami-Dade county and 4th in the nation! It is an honor being a SAS and MDC Alumni...Read 275 Reviews

Alum: School for Advanced Studies (SAS) fostered an unprecedented environment in comparison to my previous schools. The low number of students enrolled in the school allowed for invaluable relationships to flourish between my peers, the faculty, and myself. Few areas can use some improvement, such as the variety of clubs in the school or the involvement of sports. Regardless of the improvement needed, I am grateful to call myself an SAS graduate...Read 215 Reviews

Alum: It was a wonderful place to attend school. School for Advanced Studies- Homestead campus is by far the best SAS campus there is. The people you will meet, including teachers, administrators, and classmates, are all kind and caring people who want you to be successful and will put in the extra mile to ensure that you are. I was hesitant about attending SAS at first and reluctantly applied, however after getting accepted and thinking long and hard I decided it was a fantastic opportunity that I could not give up. And I was right! It is such an amazing high school and all the lies people say about missing out on highschool experiences is absurd. I had more fun here than I ever did at my previous school. You make new friendships with new people that are just absolutely fantastic and you get a head start on college all while still being a kid with prom, end of the year trips, grad bash, fun intercampus events, and all while attending the #1 school in florida and #4 in the United States...Read 150 Reviews

Senior: Coral Reef Senior High School is the best school in South Florida. The faculty and staff ensures that their students are in a safe environment at all times, and takes the safety of their students seriously. Academically Coral Reef has the best and diverse programs that is catered to every individual students different way of learning. There are many resources provided for the students in order to help them succeed academically which is one of my favorite things. Not only is academics something they support the students at Coral Reef with but they make sure to check on the students mental health. Coral Reef has amazing counselors that provide help to their students whenever they need it, and the administration is one of the most welcoming I know. The best part about Coral Reef is the experience of it all, being apart of a magnet program, learning material that interests you, being in a learning environment that is fun and innovative, and most importantly knowing that you matter!...Read 1,526 Reviews

New World School of the Arts

  Rating 4.27 out of 5  306 reviews

Senior: New world is a very special place. With 4 different art tracks, my school is home to Miami's most talented young artists, all of whom recognize art as the truest form of self expression and utilize it to tell their unique stories. Watching diverse cultural, racial, religious backgrounds and identities come to life in a variety of art forms was a springboard for my increased exposure, empathy, and awareness. Arts foster profound thought and challenging questions, questions that make me address who I am, what I believe in, and what stories I want my art to tell. Every acting assignment, every teacher, every distinct soul and student in my school has impelled me to introspect and inquire other identities while simultaneously solidifying my own as a proud Brazilian Jew. Enriching myself with all experiences that come my way, I've watched myself bloom into the authentic artist and young woman I am today. And that is thanks to NWSA...Read 306 Reviews

Junior: Overall, iPrep Academy is a STEM focused school that does not offer a lot of options for those seeking a career in the arts or sports. There also aren't many afterschool activities and the school lacks in spirit (fundraisers are super challenging). However, its strong suit is that it is a relatively small school, so there is a good opportunity for building up a personalized teacher-student relationship. Regarding the teachers, most of the teachers are excellent and try their best to accommodate the student's needs...Read 115 Reviews

Terra Environmental Research Institute

  Rating 4.07 out of 5  785 reviews

Senior: One prime attribute about the high school school I have attended that I sincerely favor is the networking between students originating from other backgrounds that offers a realm of diversity and acceptance of all differing forms of culture. The fact TERRA Environmental Research Institute is rather a small environment, all students are intertwined within one another and conversations are held with great purpose and engagement. My environmental affinity is what reflects the purpose of the school which is to diverge from indifference and converge with valuing the dynamics of nature and cherish the planet that holds us with great strength. This school taught us how to involve in the environmental science and teaches us to heed to great responsibility. What I do like to see change, however, is how expansive our school could be from a natural standpoint. There is a garden that italicizes the school and gives it reputation, and, therefore, I would like to see it grow and surround the school...Read 785 Reviews

  Rating 4.08 out of 5  77 reviews

Senior: My experience at MAST at FIU was an amazing experience. I enjoyed the environment that the school is established in. The chance to be in a high school as well as college allowed me to see how rigorous and mentally stimulating universities were. Being at the high school also allowed me to meet a diverse range of students as well as economic backgrounds. I enjoyed taking college level courses as well as taking high school courses as well. I would however like to see a new road construction for accessibility to the school. Since there is only one road that leads you in and out, the safety as well as the convenience of parents and students is very thin. I would also like that the school gave more activities throughout the year. Overall, the school provides a lot of resources and opportunities for teens to achieve their academic goal...Read 77 Reviews

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.

  Rating 4.2 out of 5  302 reviews

Senior: DASH is a great school with a wonderful environment. It's thorough artistic curriculum provides young artist the resources they need in order to thrive and develop their creativity. The combination of the program's artistic focus and strong academics does an excellent job at preparing students for college; DASH graduates tend to excel after graduation with their developed sense of independence. The faculty is extremely supportive and well seasoned in their designated areas of teaching. The tight-knit relationship and involvement with their students truly makes DASH a tight knit family. ...While the school offers many opportunities, I think a more organized system for acknowledging the mental health and well-being of the students would be beneficial. Many students tend to feel overworked due to the schools demanding curriculum; I think increased communication between the students and faculty as well as implementing a sort of organized structure would enhance the DASH experience...Read 302 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

Senior: I transferred to this school during junior year. I did hybrid my first year and now I’m in my senior year doing in person. I personally think this school has the best teachers out of any school I have been too. The teachers are super understanding and very passionate about what the teach. There are also lots of activities offered to the students. I have joined may clubs that I enjoy and they offer many opportunities for service hours. The school also really cares about your experience they offer many senior privileges and fun days which I love. For example: grad bash, senior picnic, farewell mass, don bosco day, and so much more! They also are u inquest in the way they offer retreats which helps make more friends and grow closer to God. I also love our school lunch we have a variety of options to choose from and many sweet treats. The campus is also beautiful.

Freshman: An amazing high school built for independence and success! Facilities are well maintained and also improving, cirriculum is at it's best that it can be, and the environment is, once again, very independent and built for success. Here, students can explore their own interests and studies in their own space, being either independent and figuring things out on their own or seeking the happy to provide help of staff or teachers. Courses here are top quality and you can find such amazing teachers that truly have a passion in their job and students. They encourage us to do more and work our very hardest to achieve the things we want to achieve. It may be a big campus and population, but wherever you look, you'll be able to find that group of people you can call close to. I really do adore the atmosphere here, and look forward to graduating with their school name on my diploma...Read 496 Reviews

  Rating 3.98 out of 5  60 reviews

Junior: I attended Jose Marti Mast for the past six years, and while this school has played a significant role in who I am as a person today, it was not without its faults. JMMA has provided me with a stellar education and teachers dedicated to their students, but it has failed in terms of activities and class unity. Lack of school spirit developed from poorly planned outings and in-school projects, making it harder to create a linked community. When students have concerns, it is challenging to turn to a staff that tends to be just as lost and misinformed as we are. Despite its defects, JMMA has created a competitive environment for the students, which keeps everyone focused on academia and continuously working towards improvement. AP and honors courses are prioritized, and students are encouraged to chase the pursuit of knowledge rigorously. The change I would like to see for the upcoming high schoolers stresses strengthening class bonds and balancing pleasant activities with schoolwork...Read 60 Reviews

Alum: I have graduated from here several years ago, and attended from 6th-12th grade. It was, and to my understanding, still remains, an excellent school. The greatest advantage about going here is the ability to get t know your teachers very, very well. My advice to excel in this school is the following:I. Bond with the teachers: They are highly skilled, and care deeply about their students. Mine were mentors and confidants. They will help you with whatever you need to get where you want to go, and indeed, help you find out where that is. ...II. Particular to high school - be aware of the programmes offered to you: I attribute my success in university to specialising while I was still in high school. YOU CAN DO THIS - you do not have to take a general class load throughout high school. The opportunities for scholarships, academic achievements, and learning about a subfield, are multitudinous.

It's a vibrant and highly diverse school with students from various regions worldwide, specifically from Europe. Its location is extremely convenient, located right next to a supermarket, a famous shopping center with a movie theater, a gym, and many delicious restaurants. Many of the students are highly competitive and stand out from the rest when it comes to their education and athletic capabilities.

Junior: The curriculum is challenging, and if school is not consistently a top priority for students, it can definitely set them back. Despite the demanding workload, the small class sizes make for a more personal learning experience and a strong sense of community. The emphasis on Greek language and culture along with the critical thinking based (almost Socratic style) teaching methods are what set the school apart from others. Although some complain that the school lacks activities and spirit, it truly depends on what each class makes of their time there. It is difficult but very possible to receive a high quality education and still achieve a uniquely memorable high school experience there...Read 120 Reviews

The sports teams are determined, the performing arts are very talented, there's a great variety of classes, and the opportunity to earn your AA while being in the school. I was a Performing Arts student for all four years and am so thankful for all the opportunities I was given throughout my time here; competitions, real-world experiences, and in-class projects are just a few. I also was able to get my AA from Doral College, which is a great savings and allowed me to experience college responsibilities early on.
