Junior: John Carroll is an excellent high school to excel yourself in every way possible. Through academics, clubs, sports, and extracurricular activities John Carroll is always sharpening our minds and souls. I have been blessed to attend John Carroll Catholic High School since my freshman year, and I will be graduating as the class of 2022. Through my years here I have grown in my academics and my faith. John Carroll is truly the best high school, and there is no other place to be. Go Rams!...Read 92 Reviews

Middle School Student: It is decent, but we have a lot of fights and a lot of bullying. The teachers are decent, but some of them do not grade correctly and do not teach correctly. The kids are alright, but when someone is getting bullied, the school does nothing about it. The arts at this school on the other hand, are phenomenal. I am personally in the orchestra program, and it is amazing what the teachers can do. But unfortunately, the school puts little money into the orchestra program. Lincoln Park also has an amazing STEM program and International Baccalaureate program. Many students come here just for the IB...Read 441 Reviews

Parent: We absolutely love St. Andrews! Our children have thrived socially and academically since being here. We love the curriculum, staff, teachers, and the zero bully tolerance. We also love the smaller class sizes for the children. It gives them a more one on one experience with the teachers and they are not as overwhelmed with a larger class setting. We would recommend St. Andrews to anyone looking for a great Christian based school, great academics, wonderful communication from the staff, and the view isn't too bad either...Read 16 Reviews

Parent: Both of my children have been attending Boca Prep since they were just 3 yrs old. So for the past 11 years my family has been a part of the Boca Prep family. This school is hands down second to none as far as education, small class size student/teacher ratio and exemplifies in morals and ethics. The school takes pride in events that include the whole family which make for such a concoction of greatness within the school and at home. I highly recommend Boca Prep to anyone looking for a private school that can cater to all aspects of education while making it fun!...Read 26 Reviews

Senior: Somerset is an excellent way to grant students access to dual enrollment, and I personally find it much better than other schools in the area because of how accessible this is. The school also remains very clean and well taken care of unlike many other schools. My biggest upset about the school is that there are not many clubs and activities offered. It is a fairly new school, so this is not surprising; however, it is very unfortunate. This school most definitely ranks higher in the academic field than it does in any other aspect. With that being said, whether it is worth it or not depends on your priorities as a student. On the brighter side, I can definitely see Somerset growing immensely as time goes on. The administration is consistently striving to improve the school as best as it can, and their effort does not go unnoticed...Read 54 Reviews

Senior: I went to Morningside Academy as an international student. When I first time I went there, I was so afraid to talk to people, however, I was able to make friends soon because the school is small, so all students are going to be your friends! Also, my English had improved through classes. My favorite thing about this school is that all teachers are very kind and family-like classes. Sports activities are very good, we usually win. I would recommend this school to everyone. School is hard, but, you can still have fun in your life. I am going to miss my friends and teachers there. My favorite part of this school year is that I went to the homecoming with my friend. It was very fun to spend time with them, and I got so many pictures of us...Read 26 Reviews

Senior: What I love about Fort Pierce Central is the opportunities offered. There are so many programs and certifications that you can receive that can be a huge help when transitioning to college or just the real-life world. There are programs like Heath Science, Automotive, Photography, Culinary, and so much more. I started that culinary program when I was a sophomore and I loved It. I am still enrolled in the program as a senior and the opportunities and experience it has opened up to me is endless. For example, we were able to take ServSafe. This is a huge certification because in any food industry, at least one person on the shift needs to have this certification. This certification is also 3 college credits. This is just one example of how Fort Pierce Central has opened the door for many opportunities. The administration and staff are also amazing. It is like one big family, and you will find joy and comfort if you attend this school. I love it and I know others will love it too!...Read 684 Reviews

Senior: Overall, it has been a great experience to be part of the student body here, while there is a lack of connection between student and parents, this school is great if you want it to be, while the administration is a little iffy sometimes it is still a good school and if you're in the St. Lucie District I would probably recommend you go to TCHS. There is not much student involvement in activities in general but there are a bunch of clubs and sports you can participate in. The football team is also really good, I think we're fifth in the region or something like that, so if you're looking to play football you should go here, a lot of our football players end up going D1 as well so that's good.

Senior: Saint Lucie West Centennial High School is a great school! Although there may be some things this school can fix up a bit they have a great educational learning system. The counselors are fantastic they keep up with you and inform you about certain things such as graduation requirements, they look out for our best interest. Some teachers aren't the best, but no one is perfect. I started Centennial my sophomore year and it's by far the best high school experience I've had. The school is not laid back, nor too strict.

Senior: From my experience, Port Saint Lucie High School has been a wonderful school to attend. With little exception, the teacher's are hands down some of the most dedicated and passionate teacher's I have ever had the pleasure to be taught by. They truly care about the students and foster an open and accepting environment. The school fosters an environmemt for creatives, with the drama/music departments being some of the most supported programs. My one complaint is the administration, more specifically in terms of trying to get information. There have been multiple times where administration has given mixed information or was just downright unhelpful. It might be a lack of information being passed between the district and the schools but not being able to get accurate information regarding topics such as scheduling, grading, even resources for college applications has greatly hindered me and made me rely on outside sources which can be just as inaccurate...Read 348 Reviews

Freshman: What I like about Southport Middle school was that the majority of the teachers are very dedicated to teaching their students and making sure they reach their greatest potential to succeed. What I would like to see change is how a student is counseled if they are ever brought back by a certain situation they are going through and to let them know they have support and this is important in order for the student to build a positive path towards success in not only education but in their future. The school also needs to prepare the students for college readiness ahead of time so once they are in high school they will know how to get through the situation and start right away building their futures for college...Read 2 Reviews

Senior: I'm a "lifer" at Shorecrest, having been here since Alpha. My experience with the school is perhaps different from students now since there have been many changes both faculty/administration-wise as well as with the newest buildings on campus. ...Shorecrest introduced me to reading at a very young age. I'm very grateful for that. The quality of education that I have and am receiving is top notch. Middle school prepared me very well for upper school, and now, as a graduating senior, I feel quite confident in my academic abilities. Teachers are just fantastic...The theater and athletics programs are excellent. As a small school, students have the opportunity to be deeply involved in a number of programs, ranging from service clubs to sports to the annual Spring Musical. Being able to do a range of things is important as it allows students to forge their own path by testing different areas out and seeing how they like them...If you're contemplating sending a student here, I'd recommend it.Read 63 Reviews
