The teachers and staff are dedicated to the students. They have really good magnet programs and alternate pathways for the students to be successful. I'm happy that I enrolled my child at Stranahan. He did very well in the Engineering Magnet program. Now he's on his way to the University of Florida! (There were a lot of students accepted to UF...) It is by far one of the best high schools in Broward County.

The administration is not friendly and hard to get direct answers.

The school environment appears disorganized and discouraging for students. Communication between teachers, administrators, and parents is often delayed or nonexistent, with emails and concerns going unanswered for weeks. Grades and assignments are not consistently updated in platforms such as Clever and Focus School Software, making it difficult for parents to accurately track academic progress. Additionally, there appears to be favoritism in the selection of students for sports teams rather than decisions based on grades, effort, or merit. Students are sometimes given referrals or in-school suspension for minor issues, and there have been instances where administrators speak to students inappropriately or misrepresent situations. Overall, the lack of organization, transparency, and consistent communication creates a negative and discouraging environment for students and families.
