My son attended from 6-12 grade. It's not an average school, more like a family and staff retention is high. Despite having graduated he and many of his friends still return for special events to which they are welcomed. I love the place.

The school has a great atmosphere of inclusiveness, being small everyone knows each other and friendships prevail across all grades, the older kids looking out for the younger ones and guide them. It's more like a big family than a school. My son boarded for 5 years and went off to college well prepared and extremely mature, in fact people often remark how outgoing and confident he is, we attribute that to Florida Prep.

Academics are the worst I have seen in any school. My child had to do remedial classes to get into any college. SAT scores were terrible!
