    "I am currently a Senior at YWPA. It was the last place I wanted to be when I came here 7 years ago. For me it was a daily torture. Then I realized it was the perfect place to learn and try your hardest without all the high school drama. I am not the best student, but I am much better as a student and a young women for having come to this school and having grown up in a safe loving place. I am much smarter and ready for my future now I will miss many of my teachers who have guided and pushed me to finally do my best.."

    "Young Womens Preparatory Academy was just selected by U.S. News & world report as the 2nd highest rated high school in Florida and the 26th nationally. This for a school that is only six years old, ith an 80-85% minority student population. The school demands consistent excellence from its students and those unwilling to put forth the effort to achieve academically are not suited to attend. The quality of education is as good as any school in Florida, public or private, with admission controlled through a lottery for those that meet the initial admission requirements. Simply stated an amazing opportunity for a young high achieving women to obtain a first rate education."

    "If you are not happy at YWPA,then leave. The school is excellent,as are the great teachers. Math and Science are amazing programs. it is a SCHOOL OF CHOICE. You apply and are selected. No one has to stay that doesn't fit in. There are always as in the general population,extreme parents who suffocate both staff and the students. Being a helicopter parent is NOT a good thing. Let your child grow and go live your own adult life,let your child be a child. The parenting skills of some parents are so lacking, the teachers end up parenting by proxy. In 99% the entire situation is wonderful,great staff, great teachers, very good students and true academic learning. If you are not happy here,LEAVE. Not every shoe fits every one."

    "This is my daughters first year. She is happy but at a very high cost. She is being diminished by her teachers, every day is a challenge with Science and Math with mediocre teachers.Computers, geography, and gifted class seem to be working fine. PE is not a good program, the laptops are a plus but the program may disappear for 2013.The schools is small and in general the uniforms help to the appearance of the school.Dade county offer very little, it might be a good choice; you are better off in private school."

    "My daughter goes to YWPA. IT is an excellent school. 6-8th grade are the most crucial time in a childs life and having no boys to distract them has made them concentrate more on studies. Although i do feel they should have that high school experience of home coming and prom. The school needs to just find ways to incoporate activities with a brother school. And there is no way the girls fall in love with the male teachers maybe the parent. I highly recommend the school for girls going into 6th grade. I"
