New World School of the Arts

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 290 reviews

Senior: Most of my experience here has been wonderful. There have been a couple of teachers here and there that weren't that good at all but the majority are amazing. I couldn't help but notice how invested the teachers are in the students success and have even developed some amazing bonds with some of my teachers. For an arts school, the academics are pretty good and of course the different art strands are also amazing. It's a very free and independent environment but the faculty members give help if you seek it out (counselling, recommendations, scholarship opportunities, tutoring, etc...) which I think is perfect when trying to get highschoolers to get used to a college environment. My only problem is that certain higher up administrators have been slacking and don't treat every strand with the same respect which is totally unfair but other than that, everything here is pretty nice.

• 100 reviews

Parent: My son has been attending Iprep for 5 years now. He is having a blast. The staff is very competent, and knowledgeable. The professionalism is top high. Not to mention the use of technology. Back in my days, I was limited uses of technology. Now, my son is taking virtual course while sitting in his class. Therefore he has the on campus and online experience all at once. Also, he is taking AP course. If I could do it again, I will definitely enroll my son in Iprep Academy.

A.D. Henderson University School & FAU High School

• Public School
• Boca Raton, FL
• K-12
• 70 reviews

Freshman: I've never been so happy in any place. Not only is everyone (students, teachers, staff, everyone!) there extremely supportive, they're inclusive and make sure you're okay and not struggling with anything. I'm in 3 clubs and planning to do a sport, which should be a lot to handle with the work, but I just leave with a smile each day. If you're considering this school definitely go for it! You won't regret it :)

School for Advanced Studies - Homestead

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 11-12
• 131 reviews

Alum: SAS was definitely the best investment I made in high school. The teachers are great and they REALLY prepare us for the exams. I did almost all the work assigned and I did well on all my AP tests. The opportunity to do that many college classes was also a huge blessing. Almost everyone in my graduating class got their college degree before their high school diploma! Also, thanks to SAS, I did all my college chemistry classes and aced them. This helped me greatly once I transferred to FIU. What I will say is that SAS is a LOT of hard work and it requires dedication, but, if you stick through it, you will reap great rewards!

Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC)

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 6-8
• 5 reviews

Parent: I am a parent of two students that have attended Archimedean Middle Conservatory. Our overall experience has been nothing but positive. The administration along with the teachers create an atmosphere that is both safe and nurturing. Whenever any of my two children have had a concern or just needed to talk to someone, there is always a teacher or the principal that is available to take time out of their schedule to hear them out. Academically, the school prepares all the students equally for success whether the student is gifted or in the non-gifted setting. I can honestly say that I am very proud and thankful that my children had the opportunity to attend Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC). No other school in the county could have prepared them as well as Archimedean Middle Conservatory (AMC) has.

• 6-12

Senior: I’ve been a student at MAST Academy since 11th grade. My father is in the military and we travel the world, which means I’ve been enrolled in many high schools. When comparing MAST to the other high schools I’ve attended, I can say with confidence that MAST is THE BEST school I have ever attended. Academics and sports are taken very seriously and is located in a great location; right on the beach. Although MAST does have some flaws such as their food and school spirit, they make up in their excellence in every other aspect!

College Academy at Broward College

• Broward County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 820 reviews

Junior: I think College Academy is great! It was probably one of the best decisions I made so far in my life. College Academy isn't like any other high school here in Broward, probably because it's on an actual college campus. Here at College Academy you the freedom to do whatever and go wherever you want. You are allowed to make your schedules and choose your teachers, which isn't the case in many other high schools. You are treated as an adult, most professors that hear about the College Academy kids, they expect us to be the best of the best. Also, since we take college courses, we get to graduate with both our AA and high school diploma; knocking out two years of college. All in all, College Academy would be beneficial and a great experience for anyone who decides to go.

Miami Arts Studio 6-12 at Zelda Glazer

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 6-12
• 61 reviews

Senior: MAS is such a great school. I transferred my junior year so I can focus on my studies in music and learned so much in just one year. I picked up the bassoon and already playing first chair in the top band. Besides from the amazing magnet programs they have. I made numerous friends that I never imagined I’d meet. Some are in my band magnet and some are from every other magnet. Everyone knows each other and it’s a very nice, touching community. The diversity grows each month as new students come in just like how I did with no idea where to start. But this school is an amazing fit for students!

School for Advanced Studies - South

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 11-12
• 248 reviews

Senior: School for Advanced Studies is a school like no other. It allows for you to be yourself while expanding your knowledge in various subjects. The teachers are very caring and will always help you with whatever questions you may have. And if they don’t know the answer to the question, they will do whatever in their power to at least help you understand. The people in the school are very diverse and helpful when it comes to assisting you with school, resources, or even your own emotions. All in all, I am more than glad that I applied to School for Advanced Studies because it has opened up so many opportunities that I would never have gotten at any other school.

Archimedean Upper Conservatory (AUC)

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 102 reviews

Senior: It is a very rigorous school. Students who graduate from Archimedean tend to excel in college, and the ratio of students going to top institutions is much higher than standard public high schools. Overall, the environment is quite safe, however the school focus is on STEM, leaving very little room for arts, humanities, and sports. This is certainly a demanding a competitive school built for students who want to succeed. There is a lot of work and the course load is quite heavy, which in turn results in higher test scores and well-prepared and disciplined students.
The food is pretty good. There is a salad bar and everything is very clean. The environment is very safe.
Overall pretty good for academic-oriented students, but not so much for those who want to excel in other areas.

Senior: Somerset Academy Silver Palms has over the years become my second home. Having attended the charter since it opened in 2007, I’ve become close to all staff members as well as familiarized myself with the outstanding education provided for all students. Somerset is an overall great school with a very welcoming environment.

Alum: Coral Park is an amazing elementary school, when I was there I loved everything about it. The teachers are super nice and very understanding, the food is pretty good but what can I say, it’s public school food. Diversity and culture is a huge thing in this school and no one needs to feel like they’re different or alone.

Cypress Bay High School

• Broward County Public Schools, FL

• 1,475 reviews

Senior: Cypress Bay is an amazing high school in almost every aspect. The teachers and staff are always extremely helpful and close to the students, treating everyone with kindness. The school is closed with fences and every student must wear an ID, reassuring everyone of the high level of security. There are different booths in the cafeteria with several options for students to enjoy the food of their choice. The academics are excellent, preparing the students for their future paths in college, work, and their futures. I see the diversity of friend groups and overall friendliness daily. When it comes to sports, the school does amazingly and every student is extremely dedicated and passionate about the teams! The school offers many clubs for everyone to join and/or take charge with officer positions. Cypress Bay has the most school spirit I have ever seen and never stops to amaze me with its new activities and spirit weeks!

Young Women's Preparatory Academy

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 6-12
• 108 reviews

Senior: Because it’s a small middle/high school, it’s both a blessing and a curse. Because the school is small, student don’t get many electives and hardly have any fun activities. However, students are able to develop a close relationship with teachers, and have better access to their teachers. The classes tend to push students to be their best with the help of well trained teachers, but there are occasions where students stress a lot because of the pressure that other classes cause and the lack of fun activities/clubs. Other than that I seriously recommend the school to any student who wants to excel academically.
