The best part of my experience is the college readiness. The supervisor here is always looking out for opportunities that students can take part in, whether that be programs, internships, etc.

The experience at Jose Mart STEM Academy was alright. The school seems to actually challenge students now which is good so that the school overall gets a better reputation academically. So it's heading in the right direction. I would say that the administration gets strict sometimes.
