The school is decent, the ib program is pretty good, however i feel that the regular program is weak, but overall, depending on the courses you take and your academy is how good the education is

The classes are pretty easy to understand. Pep rallies are first come first serve that needs to change. They ate my brownie that i was rewarded for honor roll. Everything is money you have to pay fees for classes. The school therapist never reached out to me when i asked for help. You have to make appointments for your counselors. Food is okay

I've stepped foot in coral gables for the very first time in 2020 after the covid-19 lockdown. Coral gables senior high has given me multiple experiences in many different situation my worst experience has to definitely be when my 11th grade teacher did not like me causing it to be very hard to excel in her class simply due to the fact that she did not like me. One of my best experiences was definitely my first homecoming. I went to my very first homecoming in 11th grade and something about that night was so special the teachers organized that event very well and everything just felt right. One thing i would really like to see change is definitely the way that students get treated some are never given the benefit of the doubt and teachers for the most part act as if they are a lot more superior that us causing some very out of pocket things to say. Overall gables hasn't been the worst nor the best but it definitely did change me as a person throughout these last four years.

Kids graduate knowing three languages in some cases. The AP courses are very strong (but hard, of course). The kids in the IB progr...
