La Progresiva Presbyterian School

This school is not good. The teachers are extremely for the most part unhelpful and do not respond. My son has been here on his 3rd year currently and only the first teacher was responsive in a timely matter. They do not seem to care at all when you call office either. Most seem like they dont know what's going on and say they will get back to you but really dont. Only reason hes still here is because its his home school and very close by.

The school feigns interest in the concerns of parents but it’s a complete farce. The school is chaotic and dropping off a child is like the hunger games. Miami Dade County is not doing anything to provide a safe arrival and dismissal procedure. The officer (if he is there) just stands against his car as if he is part of the school decor. He allows parents to do whatever they want. If you bring anything up to school administrators, they just say it’s the parents not following directions. In Broward, if parents were allowed to do anything, they would, BSO and the school administrators are there to prevent that from happening. You must enforce your rules, not just hope people listen. The front of the school is completely chaotic, there is no parking, the thru traffic easily becomes gridlocked, the drop off procedures for both the cars and the special needs students/walkers, is not safe whatsoever. Unfortunately the district and school do not allow special needs students their own entrance. This leaves the special needs students overstimulated by the time they get into class since they have to just wait in the crowd to be called. The solution? The vice principal just told me to bring my son late if he was getting overstimulated.

As an alum parent and having watched the overall development of this school ,I would enthusiastically encourage you to enroll your children in this high school. The uncertainty of the times we live in make it vitally important to educate our future leaders in challenging academics, spiritual and morally ethical instruction to carry them forward..I have personally watched the successful growth of past and present students. Saint Michaels strives to bring this about in all of its students.
