"One of my friends that attends St.Marks as we speak, is constantly around bullying, and ranks of popularity. The students in middle school, act like they are high-schoolers. There are innapropriate photos that go around the school, and if you have a child in the middle school there, they probably are exposed to it. I dont hate St.Marks and I am not trying to promote another school. All I am saying is that the students there are exposed to an impure and innapropriate enviroment. Rumor has it their Spanish Program is pretty bad too. Students dont know what they're learing and probably could'nt say more than colors and numbers. The children in the middle school also use innapropriate language daily. Now tell me, does this sound like a safe nutring enviroment to raise innocent children? I think not. Dt.Lauderdale has wonderful schools! St.Marks just doesnt happen to be one of them."

"I had 2 children attending this school for 5 years and saw this school go from a nice conservative well-discilpined school to a totally you can do no wrong feel good school where everyone is awarded for even bad behavior. I also saw not only the academis go downhill but an unruly student population. Detentions are handed daily like it is candy. The environment is like a play ground with children throwing paper balls and pencils in the classroom. The inappropriateness of this environment will shock you and confuse your healthy child. If you need your child to be reformed then this is the school to put your child, however, if you have a healthy child who wishes to learn this is not the place. The school has many hidden issues that you and your family are walking into and money has nothing to do with what is going on in this unhealthy environment. Pine Crest, West Minister or Cavalry which are all in the area are more appropriate schools with strong leadership and academics."

"St. Mark's Episcopal School has been been nothing but a positive experience for my family and most other families that we know. The school's leadership today is nothing short of spectacular. The administrators and teachers are pro-active in identifying the school's needs and the needs each individual student. For the student that needs accelerated programs they are available. For the student that needs more attention in a specific area, it is available. If you are someone that would like your children to go to a school that has strong academics, that emphasizes hard work and critical thinking, and promotes strong values like honesty, integrity, and equality, then St. Mark's Episcopal School is for you. Great students, great staff, great faculty, and great parents make ST. MARK'S ONE GREAT FAMILY! As for the negative comments, read between the lines. You have 95% plus happy families and students at St. Mark's. Maybe these people making negative comments should take a good look at themselves and their children before before criticizing the school. When the comments are about the cost, I think that tells you where the real issue lies these families. ST. MARK'S = GREAT PEOPLE!"

"We have see first hand the success that SMES has had on our son. He is now at STA and with all honors and AP classes. The nurturing along with the strong academics is combined to compliment the student to excel in all areas. Parental involvement is strong and one can feel comfortable in a variety of areas to volunteer in."

"My daughter has attended St. Mark's for three years, and I know she is receiving the best education Fort Lauderdale has to offer. Each of her teachers has made a lasting positive impact on her; one she is sure to carry with her for many years. I have also been incredibly pleased with the enriched learning environment at St. Mark's - music, physical education, art, world religion, science, Spanish, media skills, and computer provide the skills and knowledge she will need in a competitive world. Choosing a school is the one of the most difficult and important decisions my husband and I will make as parents, and I am so thankful we found St. Mark's."
