    "This charter school is bad news! There have been multiple stories in newspapers/web/TV about the school's problems that any parent considering the school should read. The school grade was from testing in spring 2011. Between April 2011 and December 2012 there were 3 directors, 3 asst directors, 3 counselors and 2 registrars. The admin office only has a director, asst director, counselor and registrar-- yes, there was a 200% turnover of staff! For much of that time there wasn't a counselor and there hasn't been an asst director since Oct 2011. In addition around 90% of the teachers who were there in April 2011 have left the school, along with many students. The 9th grade class that entered in 2010 with 150 students now numbers under 75. Why? Because kids, teachers and staff leave the school once they realize that the persons running the charter school are not putting the $ received from MDCPS into education and are running the school with financial conflicts of interest. MDCPS withheld funding in 2011 for improperly charging fees and just completed a forensic audit issued in June 2012 detailing the school's problems. Parents should be warned to avoid this school!"

    "Great Atmosphere for High School Students. It's hard to find a High School in South Florida that holds only up to 500 students with free tuition. Very intimate and small niche place, they treat students more like a person at A&M and not like a number. Students are 1 of 500, not 1 of 2,000 or even 3,000 students."

    "A centrally located A+ (FL state rated) boutique Arts school where students are able to develop their talents in a multidisciplinary educational environment. This charter high school prides itself in offering drama, visual arts, music, dance and creative writing. The professional repution of the academy, as well as its innovative appproach to integrate arts and academia truly affords its student a competitive advantage at continuing their high education."

    "This school is a joke!!! The fact that they have had 3 principals in 1 year and a high turnover in teachers and students from last years should scare you off. The academics are very poor and the administration has no consideration for the kids when they continue to fire good teachers throughout the school year. Do not let the A rating fool you, it is based on last years report when there was good teachers and dedicated students. This year the majority of the students from last year have left the school due to its unstable status. They continue to let any child in regardless of their interest in the Arts, just so they can have a higher head count for their monthly paycheck for each child. The school count is down to about 350 students, that should tell you it is not at capacity because of its decline due to the management's dysfunction in running the school properly. If you care about the future of your child - DO NOT SEND THEM TO THIS SCHOOL!!!"
