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.

South Dade Senior High Academy Magnet School, located in Homestead, Florida, has a mixed reputation . Some students appreciate the school's diverse environment and the variety of extracurricular activities available, such as band and sports programs . However, there are also concerns about the school's facilities and resources, including issues like a lack of toilet paper in bathrooms and frequent changes in band directors

I have been at South dade for 4 years and it's been a pretty good school. There are times where it's not great (when there's no toilet paper in the bathrooms for weeks) and times where it's great (when we do fun activities in the courtyard). I have been in band all 4 years a it's been a mess. We have had 3 band directors and the program is just falling apart. I have done what I can to help it but I'm not sure there's much to help. The newest band director is trying his best to build back up the program and I really hope he does, but I'm not going to be there when it happens.

School life at South Dade was always interesting, there was something happening every other day. The teachers I had, mainly AP, were extremely passionate about the subjects they were teaching. It helped motivate student moral.
