I work in the plaza across and your students are always coming and disrupting our work environment. Today we had a child come and put something in our doors lock and we had to stay there for 40 minutes trying to get out. Please keep your students out.
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2026My experience at this school has had both good and challenging moments. Last year, I experienced bullying, which made school feel stressful and uncomfortable at times. I think the school could improve in how it supports students who are dealing with bullying and make sure everyone feels safe and res
Posted by a student on 3/29/2026Great school. The admin team and teachers really care about the students. They communicate very well. Always sending home parent links. Teachers call when there is a concern or even about positive things. They have great magnet programs and will have the newest building in Broward next school year.
Posted by a parent on 10/14/2024Both of my students attended this school. One is a special needs students. The staff has gone above and beyond for them. Under the new principal and admin team we has seen the school change for the better. They are family oriented and engaging.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have attended Westminster Academy since I was in 8th grade, and I am now a junior. Since attending Westminster Academy, I have found that my relationship with the Lord has grown tremendously. My overall experience at Westminster Academy has been fantastic. They offer fantastic opportunities for academics, clubs, fine arts, sports, and most importantly growing your faith. On top of all the amazing programs that the school has to offer, the community, teachers, students, and administrators really make the school all that it is. Everyone is so welcoming and kind. I have had great experiences with my classes as well as in sports. However, what I am most thankful for is that since attending Westminster Academy I have been able to grow in my faith and have a closer relationship with God. I will always be very thankful for transferring to Westminster Academy, and I can thankfully say that they have prepared me for anything I will face in my future.Student Review1y ago - St. Mark's Episcopal School

Faculty truly care about the students and prioritize them, ensuring they are successful and happy. There is a growth mindset culture that is not limited to students. This applies to faculty as well. You have experts in all divisions and departments educating the students. We are so happy to be a part of the community!Parent Review1y ago - HI Tech Kidz Kollege
