Personally I enjoyed my time at south broward high school. I felt safe and I was very involved. The school was clean but it was often very crowded.

South Broward was a fun school with some activities but there should've been more. It has a decent enough education plan to get you where you want you need to go. I don't think I would go to any other high school than South Broward.

I have gone to South Broward High since my freshman year in 2021. The school has improved in so many ways from the resources they provide to students for academics and college readiness, to the involvement of sports and other extracurriculars in an academic setting. The school is very welcoming to students and offers an assortment of activities, clubs, and classes for them to get involved in. I was able to get my CDA at South Broward through the 3-year Early Childhood program they offer. It was hands-on and even helped me get a job at a local daycare.

My experience is absolutely negative with this school. Their phones never work. Voicemails go unanswered. Teachers don’t care and are there for a paycheck I think their Florida high school ranking and test course speak by themselves. Your student will graduate with all Fs and will be a life failure...

Great school for the past 3 years, making progress. Great AP and Cambridge program. Too bad Broward County decided to continue with remote learning in the Fall of 2020.
