Miami Killian Senior High School

My daughters have been attending Kendale Lakes Elementary since kindergarten. I remember feeling very nervous in the beginning because, as a parent, sending your child to school for the first time can be scary. The unknown can make any parent anxious. However, as the years went by, my daughters and I truly began to feel like we were part of a family.Mrs. Martha T. Jaureguizar, the principal, is incredibly professional, kind, and warm-hearted. She creates such a positive and welcoming environment for the students and parents. The entire staff reflects that same level of care and dedication.Elena Alvarez has always shown how much she cares about the students and takes her job very seriously. You can tell she truly wants the best for every child. The front staff, including Barbie, the security guard, and Mr. Hawkins, are also amazing. They help keep the school safe while always welcoming families with open arms every single day.This school has been such an important part of my daughters’ childhood. They have watched my girls grow up over the years, and it makes me very emotional knowing this is their last year here.If you are considering Kendale Lakes Elementary for your children, I truly recommend it. You will not regret it. It is a school full of caring people who make students and families feel supported and valued.Thank you for being such an important part of our journey.

As a parent of multiple students at Leewood for over 10 years, I have always appreciated our school. Unfortunately, I've noticed a rapid decline in its quality. The staff seems to be doing the bare minimum, and it no longer meets the standards set by other schools. We believe that a supportive environment with friendly staff who genuinely care about parents' feedback is essential for our children's education. With many educational options available, we have decided to leave this year in search of a new school that offers better support and attentive staff.

Seventeen years. That’s almost two decades of morning drop-offs, school events, friendships, lessons, growth, and memories that will stay with our family forever.All three of my children have been blessed to call this school home. Seeing where my older two are today is proof of the incredible foundation they received here.This school didn’t just educate my children,it shaped them. It taught them responsibility, kindness, confidence, and perseverance. The teachers truly care. The administration leads with heart. The staff goes above and beyond. Every child is known, supported, and encouraged to be their very best.For 17 years, this community has felt like family. It’s bittersweet knowing our final chapter here is approaching with my youngest in 8th grade. I will miss the familiar faces, the traditions, and the feeling of knowing my children were always in the best hands.We are beyond grateful for the impact this school has had on our lives. The lessons learned here will stay with my children forever and so will the love.

The worst school I have attended to so far. So bad, I had to switch year due to the blatant bullying, not by the students but by the teachers. I was in a horrible mental state, and instead of the school practicing what they preach (to love students) they said I was committing sins. All the teachers have superiority complex. They abuse their power and punish you like an adult, although your brain is still developing. DO NOT GO HERE! After I switched I was happy and thriving.
