• PK, K-12
• 411 reviews

Parent: This year is my daughter's third year at American Heritage Boca Delray. She began in third grade, and I cannot imagine her at any other school. Every part of her has flourished here. The teachers are always there to challenge her academically while arming her with the right tools to excel. The school's culture is inclusive and welcoming. My daughter has been able to do all kinds of extracurricular activities that explore every interest she can imagine. (she has been involved in drama, FLL robotic competition, tv production, and cheerleading.) Every day I see her confidence soaring and I know it is because she is surrounded by amazing educators that build her up. I cannot wait until my youngest (two-year-old) begins school here when she turns three!

Palmer Trinity School

• Private School
• Miami, FL
• 6-12
• 223 reviews

Sophomore: After attending a public middle school, there was a bit of culture shock when I entered PTS in 9th grade. So far, although the academics seem underwhelming when compared to other local high schools (ex. coral reef), the teachers are great and the campus is lovely. The food is good as long as you don't have any dietary restrictions, as there are limited options for vegetarians and almost nothing for vegans. If you've been in the private school system you'd be right at home at palmer, but things are a little bit tougher if you don't have a trust fund.

Saint Andrew's School

• Private School
• Boca Raton, FL
• PK, K-12
• 157 reviews

Junior: Have you ever visited a place and felt like it was where you were supposed to be? That was precisely how I felt the day I had my tour at Saint Andrew's School (SAS) in Boca Raton, Florida. SAS has provided me with unique and numerous opportunities, both academically and socially. As a sophomore, I was the founder and President of a club, and through that club, have made connections that will be invaluable to me in the future. St. Andrew's School has enabled me to work toward my Private Pilot's License, having been accepted to their joint aviation program with Lynn University's College of Aeronautics. With numerous sports offerings, there is certainly something for everyone, no matter your experience or ability, and the extra curricular activities are too numerous to list. If a club for your particular interest doesn't exist, you have the ability to start your own! Saint Andrew's School was the best choice for me, both now and for my future. I am proud to be a Scot.

School for Advanced Studies - South

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 11-12
• 245 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.

Senior: It was an amazing experience at Suncoast Community High school. The teachers are incredible and offer tutoring and help outside of the classroom. There are study groups , clubs of all kinds and definitely a family atmosphere. It is a vigorous schedule, especially like being in the MSE - math, science and engineering program like I was in. In the end , my SAT scores put me in the top percentage of test takers with a score that high. I truly lived the High school dream!

Parent: It takes a village to raise children and I have been so fortunate to have the Riviera family as an integral part of my village. In the early grades, the teachers and staff are very nurturing. In the upper grades they are supportive and set clear expectations. The students are being taught to be lifelong learners who take pride in their education and knowledge. The Parents Club does a great job of creating events for parents to get together, and you feel a real sense of a community - very family oriented. Love this school! I encourage you to check it out!

Cypress Bay High School

• Broward County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 1,453 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!

Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. School of the Arts

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• 9-12
• 518 reviews

Senior: I love the accepting environment that Dreyfoos creates. Everyone, no matter how "weird" or "out of place" they might feel, has a place at Dreyfoos. It truly creates a family atmosphere. Also, sine our school is a school of the arts, everyone has to audition to attend so everyone who goes there actually wants to be there and is excited to study what they love. Also, you get to study what art form you love for hours on end each day! Since we all have our majors, we spend plenty of time in our field studying and learning. It is truly a one of a kind high school experience and I would not trade it for the world.

The nurturing environment and challenging curriculum has not only engaged her and her friends, but she has learned to be a kind and concerned citizen of the world. The Jewish values are consistently taught across the curriculum and the relationships she has made with her teachers and friends are authentic and will see her through life’s travails.

Senior: This school is actually a very good school. You take college classes and highschool classes but the counselor there is very helpful(there's literally a full class period just for counseling). The teachers are also available way more often during office hours because there are less students and they provide tutoring and aid with your homework for free! We also have events with the other campuses like SAS Olympics(which our campus won)!

Archimedean Upper Conservatory (AUC)

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

Junior: Archimedean Upper Conservatory has a very rigorous curriculum. It is very focused on academics but it loses its school culture. In other schools, there is a lot of school pride but Archimedean is much more work-oriented and they don't tend to focus on school pride. They get you ready for college in many ways and they are very successful in getting all their students into college but the atmosphere is not a family. Students don't truly get the full 'high school experience' like in other schools. There are pros and cons to being such an academically focused school but they lose so much school spirit in doing so which keeps students engaged and proud to represent their school.

Mast Academy

Senior: Mast Academy is a one of a kind school. It's located right on the beach with the most beautiful views and amazing location. It is very interactive and you are likely to go kayaking, paddleboarding, and even snorkeling in the beach! Most teachers are very helpful and informative, wanting their students to pass the class and understand what is being taught. You will definitely be prepared for college. One of my favorite things about the school is that we don't have uniform so I can express myself through fashion! There are many clubs and groups to join tailored to all interests. I've had a wonderful time learning at Mast Academy.

Coral Reef Senior High School

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 8-12
• 1,405 reviews

Senior: I love the fact that Coral Reef Senior High School (CRHS), home of the Barracudas, becomes a home for almost every student that attends school there. There is a strong support system between students within each academy, amongst various academies, and between students and administration. Furthermore, upon visiting CRHS, one would quickly see that the school pride is nearly unmatched in the Miami-Dade school district. This is not only owed to the fact that the academics are exceptionally strong, but also because Coral Reef strives to give students the best possible high school experience. One thing that holds true for me as a Coral Reef student, and many others, is that Reef students cannot hide that Cuda pride!

Parent: Great fine arts department with collaboration with Juilliard! Love that the students get to experience master classes in music, dance and art. Would like to see more opportunities for students in the arts out in the community. Great private instructors where music students can take private lessons after school. Love that dance classes are offered during the school day and can be used as PE requirement. Each day a different type of dance class offered. The school offers both academic and fine arts scholarships!

New World School of the Arts

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• 285 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.
