The two recent posts stating that the school does 'not pay attention to the kids' and does not focus on the 'college path' couldn't be further from the truth. My daughter is a freshman at this school and is already taking an AP college dual enrollment course. Within a few weeks of starting, teachers
... Read more were already discussing and addressing the importance of planning for college. Plans are in the works for some freshmen to visit some college campuses. This school caters to all level of students. The ones at the high end of the academic spectrum would have been accepted at any other local private school. There are also students that learn at a slower pace. Everyone is not only tolerated but celebrated for who they are. This is a great school. Read less

The School needs to focus more on the college path of the students since their early years and even more the last years. They don't seem to motivate students to go to high ranked universities. The counseling system doesnt seem to be good enough.

I think this school has potential to become a great school. The fact that I have students that failed Coral Park and Archbishop Carrol sitting next to me in my class is a disgrace. Currently I see that most of our students highly lack discipline. And when you have students like that it effects your school

Referring to the below one star rating, I took AP classes and passed all my tests with flying colors. They prepared me very well for them.

The teachers I had were great. It might not have as many activities as a public school, but what private school does. It offered enough activities, it did not need anymore. I would recommend this school to anyone. Read less

I know for a fact that almost all the students who took AP exams last year, passed! As far as low quality students, St Brendan does a proper job of having a number of levels and programs for students who may not do as well academically as their peers - I do not think that because you are not as gifted
... Read more academically as the rest that you should be denied a Catholic education - they should be commended for being one of the only Catholic High schools (if not the only) in Miami for having a program dedicated to students with learning disabilties. As far as writing - term papers are far from a 5 paragraph essay....And, the counselors do a fine job of informing students about colleges, scholarships, etc.. it is simply what the students chooses to do with that information!!!!
