#1 Best Private High Schools in Miami Area
Junior: I have been attending Pine Crest School since I was 4 years old. The educational experience received at Pine Crest is extraordinary. There is an extensive list of extracurriculars for students to get involved with. Although challenging, teachers are always helping students with time management. The school provides students with a College Admissions Office that helps students from choosing their classes freshman year through the college application process. The athletic facilities are top of the line, but the teams aren't all fantastic. The reason for this is because the culture at Pine Crest strongly promotes an academics-first mindset. Overall, I have had a great experience at Pine Crest and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

American Heritage School - Plantation Campus
Private School
Plantation, FL
PK, K-12

#3 Best Private High Schools in Miami Area
Junior: The school is superior to every other school in the entire South Eastern United States. Heritage provides the most extensive extracurricular programs in Florida with nationally recognized programs such as their Math Competition, Model UN, Science Research, and Robotics programs plus even more. Furthermore, the sports programs for basketball, soccer, football, and more are also really good, hence, the multitude of state/local championships that the school has. As a student, it can be stressful since all of the students are clearly top-notch kids that are very smart; however, the benefits from going to the school far outweigh the stress and hard work that comes with it. Moreover, if you look at any other school in competitions such as Science Bowl, Quiz Bowl, MUN, Mu Alpha Theta, and more, Heritage consistently receives top placing, while many of the "acclaimed" schools such as Pine Crest and Ransom Everglades don't even participate or they cannot even compare to Heritage.

#4 Best Private High Schools in Miami Area
Junior: The good thing about private schools like American Heritage is that the overall experience is better than those at public high schools. Everything is good here, and I do not regret coming here. There is only one problem however. I feel that unlike at the Plantation campus, there is a noticeable difference in the special attention payed to especially “talented” students. By this, I am not referring to “very good” students (which is very ambiguous and is a term I’ve heard far too often). I’m referring to people who get approximately-perfect scores on essentially everything, or those who are elite at something on a national level. The top 1-2% is treated like the top 20%, which I feel hinders the potential of the school.

Carrollton School of the Sacred Heart
Private School
Miami, FL
PK, K-12

#5 Best Private High Schools in Miami Area
Sophomore: Carrollton is a school that encompasses various opportunities for students starting from their Montessori years. It is a College Prep school and therefore preps their students for college from the very beginning of Freshman year. Students learn about the college admissions process, the challenges and difficulties of applying to colleges, and how to determine what college is best fit for them. Carrollton is also an all-girls school. The benefit of being a diverse all-girls school is that students have the freedom to speak on various topics regarding race, sex, culture, etc. in an open environment. Along with that, students have a close bond with their class along with different grade levels. Teachers strive to assist their students in any struggle they have. Last but not least, the campus, home to multiple peacocks and a beautiful bayside view, provides students with an atmosphere full of nature and beauty. Overall, Carrollton is a wonderful school!

#7 Best Private High Schools in Miami Area
Parent: I have 3 kids at University School (11th, 8th, and 5th) with very different personalities and learning styles. The best thing about U School is that all of them happy and are engaged in learning from teachers who really know and care about my kids. U School is a leader in experiential and project-based learning that requires kids to problem-solve and build the skills that will take them through the 21st century. The philosophy at U School is student-centered and the goal is to help kids find what excites them and then help them pursue their passions and interests. When you add to that the opportunities in arts, athletics, debate, robotics, and the resources of Nova Southeastern University, I can't think of a better place for my kids!

are just a few of the things that set Palmer Trinity School apart.

Alum: I was a boarding student at Saint Andrew's from 2014 until I graduated in 2016. Prior to Saint Andrew's I had a poor experience at a different local boarding school that was lackluster in comparison. Although no school is perfect, unlike my previous school the majority of the faculty at Saint Andrew's genuinely care about the students. I received not only a great education, but a very enriching life experience that prepared me for life in college and beyond. Also, the traditions at Saint Andrew's are another bonus that truly shows the school spirit!

Sophomore: I have been a student at Hillel since PK-4 and am now a sophomore in high school. I absolutely love the school. Hillel has provided me with great classes and teachers, amazing opportunities and a wonderful community. The school has a strong sports program, as well as, an amazing fine arts program. This school has given me a great education and has prepared me for my future, as a Jewish individual. I feel very prepared to go to college, as Hillel has provided me with a well-rounded, rigorous secular and Jewish education. I have had a personal connection with all of my teachers and they truly care about each of their students and are always available to help! I have been able to watch Hillel develop, throughout the years, and have watched the school transform through new buildings, as well as the modernization of the curriculum through the most sophisticated technologies and methods. I am proud to be a Hillel Lion and I look forward to sending my children to Hillel in the future!

#3 Best Public High Schools in Miami Area
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!

#4 Best Public High Schools in Miami Area
Alum: School for Advanced Studies (SAS) was an experience like no other. It was not your "typical" high school environment, it was a small, intimate place that provided a variety of opportunities. Because of the small population, teachers were accessible to the students and everybody had a chance to get to know their classmates. I was fortunate enough to receive the opportunity to get an Associates Degree, for free, while finishing up high school. Moreover, the teachers at the school cared about their job, they went out of their way to ensure that the students would pass the Advanced Placement exams. They did not simply lecture every class, but instead gave a diverse amount of assignments that could cater to several learning styles. The only thing that I feel can change, is the amount of classes that the school offers. The school only offers three-four AP classes a school year, they should offer at least six-seven AP classes, to offer a broader education.

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.

Junior: Archimedean is definitely not a school for everyone, but this is exactly what makes it special. Archimedean is a school where faculty members truly care about your future, and their tireless work is highly evident of this. Students learn to manage their time and receive excellent college preparation. In regards to the classes, the Archimedean curriculum is definitely different than most, which is exactly what makes it an effective and engaging curriculum. From Euclidean Geometry to Political Philosophy to Logic to Discrete Math to Greek Language the classes offered at Archimedean ensure that students receive a well-rounded education. At times, the workload might seem unbearable, but this is for our own good- we learn to manage our time wisely and to pace ourselves accordingly. As a junior, I wouldn’t be anywhere else.

She knows all the students names, what clubs, sports, activities and knows them at a personal level. Gulliver is a family.

Alum: Coral Reef allowed me to learn and blossom as a student. I had incredible teachers and grew in a tight knit community in the International Baccalaureate Programme. However, I do not think that the school promotes club involvement enough or opens it to students in an inviting way. I regret not being more involved in high school. My lack thereof however, was not just my own doing but I feel in part a failure of the school in regards to the offerings of clubs and the overall sense of exclusivity. Nonetheless, Coral Reef was a great place to be!

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!
