At John A. Ferguson, I met amazing and inspiring peers. However, the large student body made it difficult to build personal connections with all teachers, and at times the administration felt disconnected from individual student needs. I have had instances where i report a concern to administration and I feel it gets swept under the rug.

Ferguson is a great school filled mostly with good teachers and has a safe environment with many security guards around. The best experiences there would be the events such as pep rallies and lunch events. The worst experiences were having teachers who wouldn't teach in class. There should be more teachers who are passionate about teaching their subject.

the school is way too big and they keep on admitting more people even though there's no space. there are a lot of clubs though.

Rating this school 1 star, could have been better if it wasn’t for the horrible experience with the AP PreCalculus teacher Gladys Rivera.

Pretty okay, teachers are mean sometimes and uniforms are very strict. The principal wastes money on useless things (golf carts) and they overcharge school merchandise. Security guards do nothing but play edm music and drive around the school, the schools feels sad and mindless..

If I could give zero, as a parent this is the worse school in Miami. The principal and her stuff are the worse. They don't offer any kind of help for your kids, they are just to receive a pay check but they do nothing at all.
