Alum: Carrollton empowered me to be a catalyst and a model for progress for women and minorities in the 1970s and later in life. Equipped with a strong intellectual foundation, confidence, and a compassionate worldview, I surmounted challenges through my careers and avocations. The discipline and analytical skills instilled by my teachers led to a successful career in international banking and later, philanthropy in arts and humanities. Inspired by Carrollton's values, my passion for learning, languages, and exploration led me into academia, where I focus on contemporary issues like disruptive innovation and sustainable development at a leading state university. The lasting friendships formed at Carrollton have over time provided crucial support and enrichment, especially as we deepen our lives in our “fourth quarter". Furthermore, I have also seen the benefits of a Carrollton education extend to my nieces and the next generations of my friends’ families.... Read 110 reviews

Parent: Belen Jesuit is an excellent school that has provided my son with a strong academic foundation to succeed in any career path he chooses. The faculty and staff are inspirational in their constant dedication to ensure every students success. My son has been able to grow spiritually in his faith and mentally in his knowledge base. All courses are set up in a way to challenge him and expand his knowledge base. His time at Belén has allowed him to become a well rounded individual participating in concert band playing the saxophone, serving those in need by frequently participating in community service, strengthening his faith by serving as an alter server, and thriving academically by taking AP and honors courses. It has been a true blessing to be a part of such a great institution.... Read 150 reviews

Senior: A super happy place where everyone is welcome. Everyone had friends and there’s truly a place for everyone. However, everyone slacks a lot and even the students with the highest gpa’s don’t learn anything because they all cheat.... Read 249 reviews

Senior: Embarking on your senior year at Christopher Columbus High School is like diving into an epic finale of a beloved series - thrilling, nostalgic, and utterly unforgettable. The school, a buzzing hub of tradition and youthful energy, sets the stage for a year where every moment counts. Teachers, a spirited crew of mentors, challenge and inspire, pushing students to conquer academic peaks while the specter of exams and college applications adds an exhilarating tension to the air. Yet, it's the pulse of school spirit, the roar of the crowd at games, the thunderous applause at performances, and the shared laughs and whispers in the hallways that truly define the experience. Senior year is a whirlwind of memorable "lasts" - each event, a milestone; every moment, a snapshot for the memory books. Friendships deepen, forming bonds that promise to outlast the fleeting high school years.... Read 774 reviews

Junior: Great atmosphere that makes you a well rounded student and gives you opportunities to explore your interests through programs such as the externship program that allow you to network with school alumni throughout different fields of work. The school is very spirited and gives students the opportunity to participate in many events to raise the overall positivity of the school, such as spirit week, blue and white week, different fundraisers, and many service opportunities that allow students to explore passions they may have. There are more than 70 interesting electives that allow students to explore several different interests as well.... Read 233 reviews

Junior: I am a transfer student. I left my previous high school after completing the 1st semester of my Sophomore year. I have been much happier since I started Msgr. Pace High School. My grades have improved and I feel that I am better prepared for college. I think it's really good that they have different academies that you can enroll in while there. Unfortunately, because I was a transfer student I was unable to enroll in the EMT Academy. I would like to have been able to participate in the academy.... Read 272 reviews

Junior: I began attending St. Brendan High School in 2021, post-Covid. The school was very accommodating to new students such as myself and had a variety of resources available to me. They offer free afterschool tutoring programs for any subject and teachers are very active with their students, holding office hours that are always full of activity. Compared to other schools here in Miami, St. Brendan prepares its students for college amazingly, from challenging classes and hands-on counselors to free SAT preparation classes and college help classes over the summer. St. Brendan is an excellent choice for high school, not just because of its academics, but because of its profound religious life. St. Brendan offers parent-student masses for close-knit families, volunteer hours through alter service, and faith-based retreats. Overall, St. Brendan is an amazing school with an array of academic resources, various options to practice your religious beliefs, and multiple school clubs and activities.... Read 643 reviews

Sophomore: I am a transfer sophomore student, and I was immediately welcomed. It is a great experience going to school here. Making friends is easy and teachers are always there for you when you need help. The counselors are also super open to helping students involved in problems. The school spirit is great, pep rallys are very exciting and everyone is always cheering loudly for the team in sports. This school is like a family, as everyone knows each other. Overall, This is a great school that I’d definitely recommend to anyone.... Read 143 reviews

Senior: My experience at Champagnat Catholic School has been anything but ordinary. Throughout these years, I have gained so much knowledge not only in an academic perspective , but socially. I have been taught about life. I have never met more inspiring teachers and staff members than the ones at Champagnat. They help you grow and develop at your own pace. You will gain focus on your religious faith at Champagnat. However, like any school, improvement is always a must. There is a lack of extracurricular activities that do not have to do with sports. This is something that new students with a passion for change can certainly CHANGE.... Read 14 reviews

Parent: We have been a part of Shelton for three school years and so far our experience has been great. From our first meeting with Admissions (with Ms Maritza and Ms Monica) we knew this school would be a great fit for our daughter. A small, catholic faith based school that with its wonderful teachers have become like family, was a perfect choice. We hope to continue to be a part of Shelton and continue to enjoy watching our little one grow into the best version of herself.... Read 27 reviews
