My son graduated from MSDHS in 2023 and my daughter is now in 10th grade at this school. Both of my kids have been doing well here and have been challenged taking AP classes. I feel like they are getting a good education. We were initially disappointed that the Cambridge program was not offered at this school, but it will now be offered starting in the 2024/25 school year, which is great for new students. I did have one instance where a teacher was trying to influence the class with their personal political beliefs, which I didn't appreciate. My daughter and son both told me that teachers brought up personal political stances in the classroom. In my opinion, that needs to stay out of the classroom. This is my only complaint. This school and Broward county are very communicative with parents, which is great and much appreciated. I do feel that MSDHS prepares kids for college well and they do offer after school learning if students need it. My son took advantage of several after school SAT learning sessions that really helped his score. I recommend this school and it's a great area to live.

My children have been at Park Trails since kindergarten. They have each had teachers of the highest quality who demonstrate a love of learning and a passion for their craft.

Current student at Westglades. I am in the Gifted High Achieving Program. Past teachers I've had (8th grade this year) are AMAZING and a ten out of ten. I only slightly dislike my math teacher this year. She has been teaching for a long time, but I don't like her teaching style. It's slow and confusing. However, she's a very nice person in general. Teachers I've had have listened to my problems and supported me with advice and comfort. I am VP of NJHS this year, the largest club at WMS. The sponsors are young and this is their first year, but they genuinely try to make the experience fun and interesting. In fact, I had one of the teachers last year, and she was one of the most personality-infused people I have ever met. I would say I have a lot of friends, or people I enjoy spending time with. Contrary to everything though, I HAVE seen bullying. People have randomly shoved me or poked me repeatedly in the hallways, and they would be complete strangers. I also witnessed a boy in the IED program who the "popular" kids would pretend to be friends with and then make fun of him behind his back. I've seen another boy in a similar position, and I know that no one has or will do anything about it. I am ashamed to say that I am one of the bystanders, who do nothing and say nothing to avoid attention. But, I try me best to help from afar by anonymously reporting incidents. I am a queer individual, who is closeted most of the time at school because of experiences some of my fellow queer friends have had. Overall, I love this school, but I hate the cliques.

Great school, excellent resources with experienced staff.
