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.

As a sophomore at MAST @ Homestead, it has been a huge change and is significantly different from different schools. This school has many benefits such as the academic classes you can take, preparing you for college, and school activities. However, I would recommend not coming to this school if you love school sports, care about the way your teachers teach, and want to have an overall fun high school experience. This school does prepare you for college because most classes require you to study/learn on your own but, if this is not your learning style, I would not recommend coming. In addition, freshman year is a challenging year and takes time to adjust to the new learning environment. Overall, this is a good school with a couple activities; however, I would not recommend if you want a enjoyable high school experience.

Here at the Medical Academy for Science and Technology, the best things include the staff-to-student ratio, great academics, and college preparation. However, the school lacks electives that include athletics and the arts, and the administration needs a lot of improvement.

I worked at this school recently and to say the least i think the staff and administrators in the office themselves are a bit of prejudice and discriminatory against certain type of people . I was working here as a staff and they would tell me half truths, exaggerate about my misunderstandings, and...

The school projection is a challenging one that surprises new students entering a high level high school from a mediocre middle school. The teachers prepare them very well for college by developing time management, individual advancement and desire to achieve top level. If student pays attention in...

I guess this school is good if you don't want to have a personal life. It's impossible to juggle your own wellbeing, personal and social life, and extracurricular activities at this school.
