I had my child at a local private school before transferring him to South Dade Senior. The rigor in academics is superb and my child is flourishing taking AP classes. I love South Dade Senior

My child has done excellent in the AP Courses. The teachers are very helpful, return my calls, go the extra mile in assuring that students get the help they need to understand the course and pass. Their VPA Dance Program is the best, they put on a great show and the director and teacher are wonderful. Parent involvement and support is very important and it works hand in hand, I get involved as much as possible. This school has come a long way, I applaud them and hats off to the principal.

This school is a joke. none of the teachers never return phone calls(even after I left msgs), I called the school after no returned phone calls (a week and 2 days) and I was put on hold for 20 mins with out no one coming back on and tell me if any one helped me or not. I did get one phone in Spanish but who ever left me the msg didnt leave a name or where to call back they only left the name of the school and said call back. Now that is a SMART TEACHER.... yea right. I even spoke to the principal she tells me I will find out and call you back. She took my name but no phone number.. I am still wondering how this principal will call me back. This school needs help big time....

This school is poorly run and disorganized. It takes many trips to the school to get anything done. The best way you get response to anything is to send an email or make an appointment. My daughter spent one semester there and loathed it. She indicated there were fights at the school on a regular basis. There are some good teachers and counselors but overall the academic quality at the school is very poor. Her AP classes were a joke. They were not taught at that level.

My son is special needs and is in the Project Victory program which is a great program. Also his teacher last year is very special, Ms Mark.

Some of our teachers are awesome and I can really learn from them =] We have a four by four schedule and I think I'm getting my credits faster, an hour and a half is the perfect time. It's just pretty cool.

I went to this school for my freshman year. I can honestly say I hated it. I'm in the IB program & the IB program in this school is very poor. I didn't learn anything at all throughout the whole school year.The teacher's didn't teach at all & just gave us work without ever teaching anything. The kids in the IB program are secluded from the rest of the people and it's really bad. I'm a very social person & I like meeting other people but when you're in IB you have the same people for every class. It's so boring.

As with all schools, it's up to parents to make sure your child is getting the education they deserve. Every school has problems so this one is no different. Motivated students and parents can make a difference. Student atheletes isn't an oxymoron. Winning really isn't everything or the only thing. Coaches, parents and the administration are responsible to not just keep kids eligible but to make them just as competitive in the classroom. Mr. Alvin L. McCray
