    "Unfortunately, I've had to deal with the staff at this school too many times. Ms. Escobar was the worst of all. Not only doesn't she disrespect students who politely apporach her but has the same attitude toward parents. She measures every student with one stick. She doesn't allow you to speak and only sees her point of view. It's a shame we still have teachers of this caliber in our education system. If she can't handle the workload, then she should allow someone else to do her job. I don't need to listen to her rambling about how irresponsible students are."

    "I am a former student of this school, I graduated in 2006. I came from a private school into Varela and honestly this is a pretty good school it may not be the best but it is pretty high up there compared to all the other high schools in the area. they have AP and honors classes and have many different clubs, so they definitely try and make opportunities happen for those students who try."

    "Anyone who writes a poor review on this school is out of their mind. The Principal Mrs. Fins has been extremely helpful and my children are facinated with their magnet programs. The school is clean and the staff member are warm and welcoming. My children are getting a rigorous curriculum and are being challenged. The Vet Science and IPREP magnet teachers are fantastic. If your child is gifted this is the place for them to be."

    "I feel bad for my children. They are on a waiting for Florida Christian, turn ASTRAY from this school. I brought them in for freshman year since they are in a waiting list in FCS. I have one son, and two daughters they all three have been bullied in that school. I do not understand why. I have very good looking children and now they have become different people that I do not even recognize. They have become depressed and my daughter's have been bullied. Surprisingly my son has been able to avoid problems. It seems that if you have good looking children they will be unsocially accepted and be bullied even online. I have contacted the school and they act as if bullying is not an issue on my children. I have called on several occasions and they do not have time to make a meeting with me and talk about this issue. My children have come out possitive on drug tests from people smoking weed in the bathroom. They have not learned anything I am sad to say this has stressed me and all of my children out. My child got kicked out of class for talking about Jesus. I think this is enough said why you should never put your children here."

    "felix varela is a great school . I can't believe we are an A+ school. They have great academies like health science ,J.R.O.T.C, art program ,and an awsome vet program. I recomend this for any student who are going to those kind of careers. we have a great principal and teachers/staff !!!!!!:)"
