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.

The school isn't a bad school but i believe it should be better especially since being only public high school in Miami Beach. Sports need to improve and teachers need to improve too.

I would say that the school is what you make of it. Some of the sports are quite successful like our soccer team. I did waterpolo and loved it. Recently our school has tried to amp up the school spirit and we have had many pep rallies since which have been quite enjoyable. The worst parts I would say have to do with the bathrooms being so disorganized.
