GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've had a really good experience, I feel like because the school is pretty small it feels more like a family and more unique. All of the teachers and staff are great. Most of my classes have been and are awesome, but the best part is that my school has the IB program and it prepares us better for college

It was my first school when I came to the United States. It has helped me, guided me, and taught me to improve myself every day. It always gives me benefits and support in what I need or require. It has many extracurricular activities, it gives you many opportunities to improve yourself and be a better student. The teachers are very attentive to their students and to ensure that they have a good learning experience.

As a mother, I can say that they only care about the reputation of the school without evaluating that the teachers and directors develop an empathetic environment of growth and learning, regardle...

One of the best schools in Doral. Very helpful and dedicated individuals from the main office to teachers. Parents are encouraged to assist by decorating during events and holidays. Great community of parents for the most part. The amount of work for students can be a lot but in my opinion it prepar...

Horrible school. All they do is give kids homework without adequately teaching. Additionally, they provide inadequate parking services and then task cops to ticket parents just for pulling up in-front of the school to drop off their kids.
