Miramar High School

I am a parent of an IB student. The principal did respond to me need and did take care of a minor issue. The Asst. principal talks like she is going to be helpful and is not. My child takes several AP classes and is in the IB program. His AP American history teacher is very good. I am confident he will pass that test. His AP Physics teacher is an assessor and does not properly teach or know the content area. His AP English teacher is pretty good. His pre-calculus teacher is definitely supportive of all students in the IB program. She will defend and protect them as well.

First and foremost, As a student I must say that the school has definitely improved since Faso became principal. I like to see how active he is around the campus and really makes an effort to communicate with the student body. It's also nice to see something other than football getting attention too. We finally made an "A" school this year and I'm pretty confident it's because of the Ap/IB students. My only complaints are that I'd like to see a greater emphasis on SAT/ACT prep in class. After all, the point in high school is getting to college. FCAT is rather basic and holds no merit outside of Florida. We should focus on more real world applications of our knowledge. This school has made so many improvements. The kids inside of the programs are very accepting of all cultures and form strong connections with each other. Of course you have the bad eggs of the campus, but you hardly encounter them if you're doing what your supposed to do.

A former student of miramar high's IB program the school it's self is really good has improved much since a decade ago. My only complaint is that the ap teachers throw too much work at you assuming that you can do it because you're an IB student. Most of the students themselves are open minded and diverse room for just about everyone to fit in. My only complaint is security guards are biased and drugs are the only problem.

I am a parent of an IB student at this school. I think the administration is incredible and the teachers are great. They have given my son an opportunity to succeed and with determination and much hard work, he is doing just that. I think this school is wonderfully diverse and appreciate all of the student involvement in band, chorus, athletics, etc. Iam proud to be a Patriot parent.

The IB program is nothing but a stressful mess. I attend this school and I am an honors IB student. Taking 2 ap classes. The teachers constantly vote off anything useful because they think IB kkids can handle everything thrown at them. Too much work that teaches nothing. They barely prepare you for exams with the notes or anything. If you really want to pass buy an AP review book ASAP. The teachers don't understand that you need to study since they find it necessary to throw a load of work at you. And by the time you finish the work you are dead tired. By senior ear only about 35% of the frshman starters will still be there. You're better off somewhere else. Sure the IB title is great to have. But it really isn't that prestigious. A very flawed program.

I have two students that have attended Miramar High school and my third daughter presently attends the school. I find that the school has a good balance of academics and sport with the focus on the academics. I find the administration willing to work with parents to resolve issues that arise and that the school provides extra resources and assistance for the students. The school provides a positive learning environment for the students.

Miramar High is a great school of diversity, unity, and athletics! We all have a common goal, and that is to succeed not only in school, but in life.

I attend Miramar High School. I commend Principal Davey because my brother who went there during the early 2000s said 'the School has changed before Principal Davey was there he said people could sell drugs there, people were getting stabbed and shot over there and the Fighting has decreased'. The main building is not as clean as the freshmen buliding, the bathrooms are disgusting. The education in this school revolves all around FCAT, I have not learned anything in Reading, but my Math comprehension has enhanced.

I have an ESE child that attends Miramar High School, and I couldn't be more pleased with the support that the teachers and administration have given both me and my child. He has flourished during his years at Miramar and I can rest assured knowing that he is well prepared for his future.
