2022 Best Schools Offering AP Courses in the Miami Area

Ransom Everglades School

• Private School
• COCONUT GROVE, FL
• 6-12
• Rating 4.3 out of 5  80 reviews

Alum: When someone affiliated with the school tells you it's not a school for everyone, they really mean that. There are very few POC students, but it's been improving slowly in the last few years. Academics are rigorous, and students are known to be competitive. The campus is beautiful, and the pool is incredibly impressive. The administration needs to improve how they handle students' mental health. There was one incident where a student went to the school's guidance counseling to discuss stress and poor mental health. The counselor ended up telling them "maybe this isn't the school for you" rather than helping them or guiding them.

American Heritage Schools, Broward Campus

• Private School
• PLANTATION, FL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.47 out of 5  638 reviews

Senior: American Heritage (Broward Campus) undeniably outperforms a vast majority of high schools in Florida in a variety of categories, such as Club/Activity opportunities, diversity, safety, and college readiness. Whether this be referenced in terms of the hundreds of student services, variance of student demographics, security reinforcements, and semesterly guidance involvement, the k-12 atmosphere has always boasted a comfortable and direct learning environment. I would only encourage consideration/improvement on staff morals, as many individual courses have become notoriously difficult and constructed by teachers with unnecessarily demanding curriculum. Food (and tuition alone) are also quite expensive, although there are cheaper options such as snack bars and pop-up bake sales. I have not experienced bullying, harassment, nor even the slightest concern of my safety while attending and have had an overall great experience!

American Heritage Schools, Palm Beach Campus

• Private School
• DELRAY BEACH, FL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.43 out of 5  484 reviews

Junior: I’ve had an amazing experience at American Heritage! The school provides a challenging curriculum that prepares students for the rigor of college academics ; there are many different classes and several academic programs which allow students to explore possible interests and find out what we enjoy. Although classes can be very difficult at times and the workload is heavy, the teachers here are very caring and are always willing to give additional help to you after school. The sports and fine arts programs offer many different opportunities for students to improve themselves outside of academics. The shows and plays of the theater department are spectacular, and although there is not yet a proper theater, the size of the black box is sufficient and the set design is amazing.

• Rating 4.38 out of 5  135 reviews

Senior: I have attended Gulliver for years and they run an amazing educational system. All the students create great, professional relationships with their teachers and it really helps the learning process. Their Theatre department is outstanding. Everyone has amazing opportunities to broaden their acting and musical ranges. They have amazing sports teams and the student body has great school spirit. They have numerous clubs and programs to join and students can even create their own club if the one they want isn't available. I highly recommend this school. I will say they could listen to student's ideas a little more because they truly have great ideas! Overall it's an amazing school.

Miami Country Day School

• Private School
• MIAMI, FL
• PK, K-12
• Rating 3.98 out of 5  84 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!

School for Advanced Studies - Wolfson

• Miami-Dade County Public Schools, FL
• 11-12
• Rating 4.38 out of 5  181 reviews

Senior: School for Advanced Studies is a really awesome place overall. High school classes are all AP except for Pre-Calculus and are held in the afternoon. During the morning, the teachers hold open office hours for students to swing by and ask questions or get tutoring. The teachers are very friendly and extremely supportive; the small school size will allow you to build more intimate relationships with them and with your fellow peers. The small school size is also a downside as well. Because there are are only about 120 students throughout the 11th and 12th grade classes, clubs and activities are certainly lacking. Additionally, there are no science teachers. If you want to take AP science classes, you're going to have to rely on self-study. Though, that's not inherently a bad thing. School for Advanced Studies demands that students be self-driven and willing to go beyond and learn outside of the classroom, and for that reason, I think it's a pretty neat school.

Suncoast Community High School

• Palm Beach County School District, FL
• 9-12
• Rating 3.92 out of 5  664 reviews

Junior: Suncoast Community High School is wonderful school because of all the things that it offers and provides for it's students. It really is one of the hardest schools to go to however, but once you get past the toughness that this school offers, you really understand the potential and power that the school provides. Many students in this school start with AP classes and end with dual enrollment/higher level educational courses, which are all vital to college prep and learning. Their are some minor issues though that resent with the school and those include: food and resources. Although the school offers resources, most are not that advantageous and sometimes don't provide the vital information that many students need and that can causes school grades to plummet and food needs some large and extenuating improvements with quality. Thankfully, their are bright students that go to this school and it still provides a rocking experience, despite it being a somewhat rocky. GO SUNCOAST CHARGERS.

Cypress Bay High School

• Broward County Public Schools, FL
• 9-12
• Rating 4.31 out of 5  1,659 reviews

Senior: I have had such an amazing experience at Cypress Bay. First off, the student body is extremely diverse almost 5,000 kids from around the world. The different international perspectives brings a unique vibe to the school. Additionally, Cypress has over 100 different classes that they offer at all different levels. There is an elective for everyone and students' schedules are very flexible. One of the best things about the Bay is how many clubs they offer. I have been involved with at least 3-4 clubs every year and it has given me so many volunteer and service opportunities. The best part about my school are the traditions. Pep rally is one of my favorite events since all the classes where their color and go and and compete in games such as tug-o-war. For the past 2 years, the class of 2021 has won! Homecoming is also another favorite of mine. During the week of Homecoming, everyone dresses up in accordance to the theme of the day and it is so fun seeing what people come up with.

The strong academic expectations have continued and the teachers- the absolute best, most caring, nurturing, and challenging you will find anywhere. Watching the kids learn virtually and hearing the teachers' voices provokes a very emotional response. I know that my kids are in the best place and I can't imagine them being anywhere else at this time. Together, we are a very special family and I am so blessed and honored to be a part of this fabulous community.

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.

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.
