Hialeah Miami Lakes Senior was a predominantly Hispanic school yet, it did have high diversity. It had most things you would expect from an American public school. However, it did not feel like it had exceeded the bare minimum standards. It meet them. Overall, I would say attending the school itself is a genuinely pleasant experience, but there was a lot culturally, and infrastructure-wise to work on.

This school has sure been a challenge. I've learned a lot life wise and well obviously educationally but it's taught me some people are just not you think they are. The school teachers are on both sides good and bad some are lazy and don't teach some at every into teaching and helping us learn. I've always wanted that high school dream you see in the movies but sadly that's not what high school is all about it's about working hard and not letting people get in the way of your future because at the end of e day how you do in that high school affects your life after it. On of te things I hated when it came to this school is how bad the food is like I know I know every high school has bad food but I've food so many things in the food that have even made me sick in the stomach. It's awful. It's a pretty big school the classrooms aren't perfect and sometimes the air has broken and it's been grossly hot. The activities they do are not bad they are fun and make school a little more exciting:)

Me parece que la escuela es muy limpia y muy organizada, en temas de seguridad la security es la que abre la puerta so, me parece más seguro para los alumnos y para todo el personal que allí trabaja.En cuanto al aprendizaje me parece bueno a mi hija le gusta y este es su segundo año allí

This school is not perfect like all schools it has its flaws but it has excellent teachers and people that truly make your day better. I see many bad reviews out there, and although it might not be the most luxurious school, it was very nice coming here from my experience.

I went to HML my freshman year and sophomore year. I didn't know anybody, but I guess it was easy making friends! Everyone gets along! To be honest, don't listen to people saying that you will get bullied. That was probably back then. But now we have a new principle and a lot of new rules. Everyone...
