Belen Jesuit Drumline

I am currently a student at Belen and I really believe this school has made me improve not only as a student, but as a person too. The teachers and admin are very supportive, and only want the best for the students attending Belen. I would recommend taking your son to this school.

What a shame to see my old high school have such awful reviews. Cypress Bay is one of the greatest…read morehigh schools in the nation and I'm not just saying that because I went there. I have talked too many people who went to other schools and transferred to Cypress Bay or friends who moved away, every time they said that Cypress Bay was not only better, but MUCH better. The school gives you so much freedom, not only in the typical style of picking your classes/clubs, but the staff respects it's students and doesn't enforce strict rules on everyone. By the staff giving the students this freedom, they expect the students to not take advantage of that freedom and for the most part they don't. What results here is a well-established relationship between the students and staff that really works. The classes here are great with some of the best teachers in the state, many of whom you talk to will tell you how much they appreciate working at the school. There are so many AP classes available and many great electives that other schools may not offer. Through this they do a great job preparing their students for their future. For example, some very intelligent kids can choose to do many high-level AP credits if they want to go to into the medical field. At the same time, someone like me can join a club and take classes on something like TV Production which was amazing in preparing for me for my career. Speaking of clubs there are so many, that you can find something for everyone. This almost reminds me of what I see in college. Most of the students stay at Cypress Bay after school for clubs or sports activities. It's great to see so many students getting involved and it's also great to see the pride they have for the school. Sure are there a lot of students, but that also prepares you for college and it can also be a good thing. Think about it this way, the more students there, the more likely you are to find someone who will share things in common with you and make easy friends. The school is clean, safe and amazingly managed by the staff. The experience you have here is one of a kind, I wouldn't go anywhere else for highschool if I had a choice. 4 years of great times, I honestly have nothing negative to say about the school. Please do not let some sour reviews influence you to send your children to private school. Believe it or not, Cypress Bay is preferred by many students who went to the local private schools. I only hope one day my children can go to a school like this. 5/5

Donna Klein Jewish Academy - DKJA Class of 2007

I went to High School here from 2005 to 2007, 11th and 12th grade. Donna Klein Jewish Academy is…read moresuch a fantastic, close knit experience, I couldn't have asked for better. I actually transferred here from a public school in Pennsylvania, but I was welcomed right away as family. I was actually lucky because within a month of starting school, most of my grade took a two month high school experience in Israel, so I really got to bond with them there. Over the course of my two years at Donna Klein, we went to Israel twice, once on the Alexander Muss High School in Israel Program, the other on the March of the Living. I can say that the school pushing these trips made for some of the most important experiences of my life. My whole grade at the time of graduation was 20 students, which means I was really able to get to know all of them very well. Socially, you'd think that having less students wouldn't be a good thing, but it really does add a level of closeness to the school. You not only bond with you class, but all the other classes and students in the school. They did offer a lot of athletics, but not many clubs to join. Nevertheless, most of the social experiences at Donna Klein are very beneficial and prepare you for whatever experiences you have after school. On the education front, I was very pleased with all aspects of it. Most of the courses were the standard courses (math, science, history, English), but also they had plenty of AP and honors courses as well. Class sizes were very small, which had the great benefit of having lots of attention and care. I think my biggest class was maybe 12 kids, and that was a huge class for there. Donna Klein offered a college advisor to help all of us prepare for college. I can't say she was the best college advisor, but because the school size was so small, she met with each one of us on a regular basis, which was always nice to have the extra attention. They also offered a good series of electives, which was nice to be able to choose at least one class on our own. In terms of religion, we basically had a session in the morning where you could choose between a more religious or secular daven to attend, maybe a total of 5 choices. We also had a Judaic studies class, and a hebrew class. I thought it was a very healthy amount of Judaism for the school, and allowed you to choose whatever denomination suited you best. Most of the faculty and staff were extremely nice, friendly, and helpful. Because the school is so small, you really get to know them as mentors beyond just teachers and staff, so it is always nice to have people who really do care. Obviously, some were better than others, but all of them you shared a lot of time with and got to know. Without naming anyone particularly, some of their upper management are some of the the worst people I have ever encountered in my entire life. There is more politics in administrators offices than in the United States Congress, and that is putting it lightly. People on top only care about themselves and advancing their own agendas, not helping any of the students or faculty in anyway. These people were so detached I don't think they even knew the names of students in the school, and were talking a school of less than 100 kids that they are the head of! Part of being in a close knit community like Donna Klein are the advantages of everyone having special attention, and these administrators have none of it. They don't listen to anything logical and just want to serve what is best and easiest for them while making the most money possible. One side of me wants to give Donna Klein a one-star because yes, the head of school and upper administration were that bad and in that way, I was disgusted to have given them a dime, but I choose to remember the good parts of Donna Klein. My advice to parents and students would be to at all costs avoid the people who run the school at the administrative levels and just stick to the faculty and staff. Unless it benefits the bottom line for the school the head of school won't help you, and may even go out of her way to hurt you. The price of going to school here is also not cheap, and most likely going up in the future. I cannot speak to current facilities, but I can say that the private school atmosphere is one I have to highly recommend, it is worth the money. When I went to school at Donna Klein, our whole school was about 84 students total (9th - 12th), and the physical location was in a trailer. I know that they have now moved into the actual JCC area, which I've seen and is very good. Either way, the key factor at Donna Klein is community. Because it is a small school, you are able to get special attention in terms of education, and have a close group of friends. Transferring into a new school can be tough, but Donna Klein made not only the transition easy, but into a wonderful experience. I cannot recommend Donna Klein Jewish Academy highly enough.

Honest Review: 2023. My name is Desiree Lima, I am class of…read more2023 and if I'm being honest, I thank God for this school, and for Mrs. Jimenez the Principle. What was my experience like? I encountered teachers who cared for my academics as much as they cared for my well being. I was granted the opportunity of 100% paid College Tuition through the Cambridge Program. And I was granted the option of receiving my AA before graduating HighSchool by means of Dual enrollment. Many of my friends share the same experience. Teachers like Nehme, Cabrisas, Cainas, Mogo, Paula, Espinosa, Palacios, Osborne (& ofc Ms. Lima LOL) made this possible. Cons: Yes, it was difficult to get a hold of Counselors at times. Yes, it was difficult to get help from the Office when it was busy. But in the end, there was always someone willing to help. If you care about your future, choose HGHS. And never forget that you must do everything you can TODAY, to put you where you want to be TOMORROW.

I am a concerned parent and always on top of my son but if I cannot get the same support from the school then all they are doing is helping The high academic kids what about the other great students. I was embarrassed and shamed today by the Assistant Principal. I would never recommend this school to no one. The students wander the hall ways with no discipline or control. I email teachers and get no response and no requests to meet with me to discuss his progress. They do not care this is like a factory.

The classroom itself has been remodeled and fitted with brand new workstations and lab stations. The hands-on experience with switches and routers can't be replicated by online learning or reading. The only thing that really disappoints me, is the "job placement" pretty much went out the window after graduation. I can't fault them too much for that, though, because of COVID. It would have been nice to generate an interview or two out of it, though. I would definitely recommend this school to someone who's just looking to learn a trade and doesn't know about a 4-year school, although, some credits would transfer to Broward schools if desired after graduation.

I liked that in the cold foods, if you show interest, Chef will teach you about food carving. In the bakery, if you let Chef know you want to try "something", he'll make time to do that with you or with the class. It was an overall great experience. The only negative I have is about one of the Chefs, I won't say whom in particular... she told me on a couple occasions that I'd probably do better at the front of the house, I was not fit for the kitchen. Harsh truth? I worked in a commercial kitchen after graduating and loved it. I think she spoke too soon. I now make custom tiered cakes. Guess I exceeded her expectations..
