We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This is the worst high school in Florida. Attended from 2012-2017 before i got fed up and transferred schools. This school has a very serious problem with bullying and its also full of fake people. Especially this kid named Ryan who would just stand there watching me get bullied and wouldn't even stick up for me and try to stop the bullying like a real friend would. Like what type of friend is that? Dude had so many opportunities to stop the bullying but instead just stood there and let it happen. Perfect example of a fake person. I dont know why i was ever friends with him. He's the worst friend i've had in my entire life. I had nobody by my side here. I think they are spraying chemicals in the food here because not once did i get bullied over there at homestead senior high. Fights were a weekly occurrence here. We would have substitute teachers for half the school year. Toxic atmosphere, rude teachers. Dont enroll ur child here

My overall Experience with Keys Gate has been pretty easy, especially due to one of my teachers. This teacher has helped me grow has helped me communicate myself better has helped me seeing things as I should be seeing them as an athlete and a student an overall as a person. I believe that the school needs to have more teachers like her so other kids can get involved in different things.

when I went to keys gate, it was horrible for me. Keys gate teachers didn't make sure we were fully prepared for the next grade. My little brother was struggling in biology and my mom contacted the school and they did nothing to help him.

I like this school due to its many options for students to achieve their goals. Also like they have many sports that students can choose from. Even though they have three different buildings it still feels like they are all together. I also like seeing the principal and vice principal rotating throu...
