Parent: Having recently moved to the Miami area, my wife and I evaluated a multitude of local schools and are very happy with our selection of RE. It strikes the right balance of academic rigor, school spirit, and extracurricular activities. Our daughter's middle-school classmates are friendly and inclusive, and their parents are involved. We're happy with our choice and would highly recommend the school to anyone considering a Miami private school.... Read 87 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!... Read 692 reviews

Senior: Carrollton provides great education, great resources, a gorgeous campus, and a beautiful and supportive tight community. Classes are small and engaging. There is a strong STEM program with pretty good resources. The Arts Program in high school is pretty good too! The workload in high school is challenging and rigorous but with good time management, you can work hard and play hard. You will be well prepared for college!... Read 101 reviews

Junior: Here is my honest opinion. No hate, no shame, no slander. USchool has so many different people, staff, and communities. HOWEVER: this school is very clique-y. I suggest meeting a few people and making friends with them so you can enter a clique or small group of some sort. The staff is generally kind! Food could use a fix. It's either a hit or miss... I have learned so much from this school so far, the resources are outstanding: HUGE University library (4 floors), media center to record projects and be with friends, teachers are kind enough to give extra help hours and help you through whatever. Campus is a large size foe high school and we have a 20-min break daily, (I would be super stressed without it) and a good 45 min lunch. HOWEVER, keep in mind this is a very creative project-based school, you will likely be assigned lots of projects with reasonable due dates. If you are more technical and like good old-fashioned tests, this isn't the place for you. OVERALL I enjoy USchool!... Read 219 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.... Read 139 reviews

Parent: Palmer Trinity School is an exceptional school. The teachers and staff are very supportive and go beyond the call of duty. My daughter is a rising 8th grader. Any difficulties that you may have are quickly rectified by the MS Head of School. He is awesome! The lines of communication are always open. The teachers encourage students to participate in other activities. The school has a high standard for education and makes sure all students are equipped with advanced technology and training in advance. Also, the sports coaches and other extracurricular sponsors are very considerate of the students' schedules.... Read 241 reviews

Parent: Our two kids came to Posnack a year ago, and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision. When selecting the school that would be the right fit for us, we were looking for a school that provides a high level of secular education while also instilling a love of Judaism.Possibly the most important factor for us was that a school would be our partner in teaching our children to be good people. Posnack has demonstrated a level of excellence in all of these categories. Our children are learning with enthusiasm and at a higher level than ever before.The teachers and administrators are doing a top notch job in assessing the students’ level and providing them with either enrichment or additional support. In addition, communication, attention to detail, and extra curriculum activities have been fantastic. Our kids are thriving both academically and socially. Thank you Posnack for everything you have done and continue to do for our children.May you continue to go from strength to strength!... Read 148 reviews

Senior: While the school itself is very good(many of the teachers are really here because they love their jobs and they want to help their students succeed) the students of the school can sometimes make the school unbearable, especially if you are a student of color or a student not well off financially. As you get older, the student gets better, but if you want to enroll your middle school student and they are a student of color or a student who is not well off financially, this school might not be the right fit. If you want to enroll your student in high school, this school is great. The teachers are very helpful and hold weekly "extra help" sessions for the students. The faculty is constantly available for students who might be having any issues.... Read 98 reviews

Parent: Scheck Hillel has been wonderful for our kids--the teachers care so much about them and are always willing to work with us to improve their learning experience based on each child's individual needs. From the very beginning of our time at Scheck Hillel 9 years ago we have felt like we are part of a family that cares about us and our children's well-being way beyond academics. The school's excellent secular and Judaic studies, as well as its emphasis on teaching values give us confidence that our kids will grow up to be successful, productive and contributing members of society. The longer we are there, the more confident we are that we made the right choice of schools in Scheck Hillel!... Read 212 reviews

Parent: This School is AMAZING!My friends moved to miami to put their kids in this school.We were between this & Ransom & after hearing so many great things,I took a chance,enrolled my daughter to middle school here & have been blown away.This school incorporates STEM into almost every subject,uses Socratic style teaching in some classes,have small classes,& we love the family feel!Every class has a writing component built in so my daughter(who was already a good writer)has improved So much in only one year.They offer dual enrollment in the high school & they are all about service,integrity,& compassion.My daughter started service hours this year. I feel like they are not only dedicated to high academic achievement/athletics,but really emphasize being a good person. AND they place your child In their appropriate level in each course,so they can be in 6th grade, taking 7th,8th grade math,science,etc.Which is great bc your child can excel and advance based on their strengths.

Junior: Being a student in such a small school has this huge advantage: Each student has a plethora of opportunities to meet with teachers and ask for some extra help! In the beginning, it seemed like such a unbearable challenge with the rigorous course loads and the many morning quizzes, but later in the year, that sense of preparedness and accomplishment made it all worthwhile. I was too busy focusing on the sheer amount of work to notice that I was improving and gaining confidence in my academic abilities at such a fast pace!

Senior: I appreciate the holistic education I received at Suncoast. I have enjoyed learning from educated teachers that are typically very helpful and provide the resources you need to do well. However, the environment at Suncoast is very competitive, which is encouraged by the staff. Many times students are pitted against each other and their worth is determined by their GPA or test scores. I frequently experience people trying to deem themselves superior to others because of their higher scores. This can be discouraging if you let it bother you. Also, there is a lack of widespread school spirit that is present in other high schools in the district. This is mostly because students are more academically-driven and the intense workload makes it difficult for many to go to sports games throughout the week. Overall, I have enjoyed my experience but I wouldn't recommend it for someone that isn't prepared to do a lot of work and likes school spirit/a fun environment over academic rigor....

Senior: Good Academics and teachers. Fun school to be in even when academic wise it gets tough. Most teachers are friendly and ready to help. Dreyfoos encourages involvement of student group interaction therefore there is unity at least between kids inside specific departments. Outside of those departments sometimes kids feel the need have "rivalries" or almost pick on certain majors but if you love your art and make good friends despite the major they are, you can get around it. Admin encourages students to be proud of their school and to take advantage of the opportunities offered. There is a variety of activities during the school year to go to and enjoy like spirit week and open houses for parents. The school provides with lots of information about a variety of topics like scholarships. Boot camps outside of regular school hours to help with college apps are offered. I'm going to miss going here for sure. Came for the arts, stayed for the people and opportunities offered!... Read 604 reviews

Senior: School for Advanced Studies Homestead is an incredible school choice if you prioritize college readiness and want to get ahead in studies. SAS is for Juniors and Seniors who want to take dual enrollment in highschool to graduate with both a diploma and Associate of Arts degree. The SAS Homestead campus has on average around 150 students every year. Personally, this small school size allowed me to know the students and staff more than I did at any other school, and it allowed us to bond together like a large and close-knit family. SAS's student culture is one where we support, compete, and motivate each other into reaching for our highest potential. The coursework at SAS is very rigorous, however, with proper time management and discipline I had more than enough time to complete any assignments. SAS reserves 3 hours of the school day for college courses and independent study, I took advantage of these 3 hours which many times allowed me to finish my assignments before I even went home....

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 school is small enough for students to have real access to their teachers and large enough to offer social options and diversity. Donna Klein is a wonderful example of a community day school.

The school counselor and teachers wanted all of us to succeed and it was really important to receive such support, especially at a dual enrollment school. I truly believe that I would not have accomplished as many things as I had during my time there if I wasn't enrolled at SAS.
