Coral Way Campus Review. My son had been in the MDCPS system…read moresince he was 3yrs old. He was diagnosed with speech delay and later Autism, though he was high on the spectrum. During his elementary school years, he moved schools a total of 4 times in order to have him in the best suited programs. But towards 3rd 4th and 5th grade we started to notice that none of these programs were providing him with the right combination of services and academic curriculum to really challenge him. He always excelled in math and sciences, but his full potential was never really exercised because many of the classes were below his level. Our case was one where we needed a smaller class environment with stronger academic standards as well as the resources to properly deal with the missing pieces of his overall comprehension. Time and again we lucked out and had GREAT teachers but their resources were so limited. This meant highering and attending sessions with private tutors, therapists, OT, etc, sometimes 6 days a week to fill in where the schools were failing us. When looking for a middle school program, I attended the orientation for Highpoint academy and found myself in tears. I cried because hearing Dr. Gigi speaking about the school's mission and philosophy, I realised that what I had been looking for and told did not exist, DID EXIST and was right under our noses. I cannot tell you how much highpoint and their staff has meant to us and to the development of our son's education. He had a rocky start, I will not lie. But this was because for the very first time he was being CHALLENGED. He was receiving the kind of education that fostered real academic growth in a manner he was able to understand while providing him the therapy he needed. For the first time in his LIFE he was able to come home from school, do his h.w. and then play or read or just chill. He was able to just be a kid without having to run from office to office for tutoring and therapy. I cannot express what a GIFT this was. He's been there for 2 years now and I have been so pleased with all the teachers, staff, and programs offered. They always make the families feel a part of rhe journey, including us in holiday and academic celebrations. I don't know where we'd be without this school or what kind of future my son would have had if he'd never come here. All I know is that I now feel as though my son has a REAL chance to a more typical and successful life that will include college and a career... but most importantly happiness and fulfillment. Thank you all at Highpoint for being the answer to this mom's prayers.

Wow. I just made my first, and last, phone call to Highpoint Academy on Coral Way in Miami. I was…read moregreeted by a snooty sounding female who answered by saying "Highpoint" then silence. I asked to speak to someone who could tell me about the school and see if it were a good fit for my son. "What grade" then more silence, when I said 7th grade, I was rudely advised "there is no spot this year". I asked if there was a Director that I could speak with to simply learn more about the school, and she informed me she was the Director and when asked, she said her name was Angie. She was such a rude person who behaved like a scorned high school girl, I even stated that it seemed I called at the wrong time and maybe she was busy. I could not believe any organization would allow that type of treatment to potential families. If that were my employee, she would have been fired a long time ago! How are you still in business?

It got bad enough that school board needed to get involved..... you can tell about someone's character when things don't go their way. I've seen their character and I'm deeply disappointed. Only reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is because my daughter really enjoyed her teachers.

Our child has applied to this school for three consecutive years. We come from a strong Christian…read morefamily, and our faith and Christian values were a major reason we continued pursuing this school. Each year, our child completed the observations and assessments and received nothing but positive feedback about how well they did. Yet every year, we were waitlisted and ultimately never offered admission, without ever receiving a genuine explanation as to why. After three years, this process has left us questioning how fair and transparent admissions truly are and whether status, connections, favoritism, or nepotism play a role. From our experience, the process simply did not reflect the honesty, fairness, sincerity, and Christian values we expected from a faith-based school. As a Christian family, we have prayed about it and come to believe that perhaps God was protecting our child from an environment that was not meant for them. If this is how families are made to feel during admissions, we can only question what the culture is like on the inside. After three years of disappointment, we will not be applying again. Christian values should be demonstrated through actions, not simply through a school's name or reputation.

St. Matthew's Cooperative Preschool is not your regular preschool. Six years ago, after visiting 14…read moreschools of different types: Montessori, Reggio Emilia, traditional, and even Waldorf, I chose this one for my first child, who attended all his 3 years of preschool there. Four years later I chose it again for my second child, who is now about to complete his preschool stage. Not to say that I didn't like any of the other schools I visited. We are lucky in Miami to have so many great choices for preschool. But this little gem spoke to my heart. It truly is a place where families experience learning together. As a cooperative preschool, parents work along side the teacher, who by the way has been there for about 20 years and is truly dedicated to her mission. The children learn, and learn to love learning, by doing a lot of what they do best: play...inside and outdoors. They also have daily structured art, math, science, reading, pre writing, and writing activities. Because of the class size, the teacher is able to assist each child at their own level, and there are about two field trips each month!!!, so as a group you also get to know Miami and what it has to offer the community quite well! You get to truly meet the parents of the other children, since it's not just a drop off place, and your family finances don't suffer, because it costs a fraction of what all other schools in Miami cost (plus VPK4 year is completely free!). My second child graduates in less than a month, but my entire family will carry this little place forever close to our hearts. We all are better people because of the five years spent at this little treasure we found.

THIS REVIEW TOOK ME MONTHS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I SHOULD WRITE AND HOW I WANTED TO ADDRESS IT…read more Ok i really want to keep this short and simple but you know what? I have decided not to. I've been at this school since 2012 and graduated last year. I now go to John A. Ferguson Senior High and I'm currently a sophomore there. It's safe to say I have more freedom now that I've transferred from a small, private school to a big, public school. But, what i mainly want to discuss in my review are the things that I experienced at my time there. With that, here are a few that I went through 1- Bullying Since my 7th grade year, I experienced pretty much a bunch more mental health problems than any other grade. During that year, I found who I really was sexuality wise. I came out as a lesbian in 2021 to a girl that I really liked, who I won't be disclosing on here due to privacy reasons. We then started dating March of 2021 until April 2021, almost a full month. Since then, I felt left out on anything. Nobody really cared about me and that just made me feel like I was a nobody to them. 2- Homophobia As I recently stated, I came out as a lesbian in 7th grade. My best friend, who I had a crush on at the time was the first to know. A month or two later, we started dating. Note, this was a few days before our Spring break. A day or two after we started dating, it was our ring ceremony. Since i didn't buy a ring, I was invited to celebrate with some friends and my girlfriend at that time. We did have a lot of fun, hell they even surprised me for my birthday since my birthday was around a week later. During spring break though, some people started to find out about us being together; I didn't think to much of it but once we came back from spring break, more people started finding out and I was scared that administration was going to find out. Fast forward April 19th, We were both called to the principal's office one-by-one and we had to answer some questions that I don't want to add on here. Since that day, I was scared about what would happen next. The next day before language arts, she came up to me saying that we had to break up because of her mom finding out. Fast forward to now, we don't keep in contact anymore all because of the fucking administration and the people that I went to school with. To wrap this up, I still think about these things that Gladeview put me through to this day. From bullying to homophobia, I'm extremely upset about the way they handle these types of situations. All I'm gonna say is, DO NOT enroll you child here by any means necessary. If you don't feel like listening to that last sentence, be ready for a bunch of sadness or anger from your child. I'm still suffering from some trauma that the school forced on me (Christianity, homophobia, bullying, etc.). In conclusion, I DO NOT recommend enrolling your child at this school at all costs from personal experience. *To anyone that reads this, don't take what i said personally, this is from personal experience and I just feel that it's necessary to give my own opinion. Everyone has their own opinions and I don't say anything about them and I respect that.*
