Southwest Miami Senior High School

If I could give half stars, this school would actually be a 3.5, not a 4. I transferred into Southwest for my last two years of highschool and graduated from this school. Compared to my pervious highschool, this school was the least spirited school I have attended, and it did not help that the admistration did not allow expression of school pride becasue they are constantly implementing their school uniform policy, which may actually be a peace of mind for some parent, but personally as a student it made school even more unbearable than it already was. While i may have not been there for long, I remember this school having a handful of teachers that cared about ALL their student, not just the “gifted students”. Unfortunately i still have ties with this school because I have a younger brother who attends this school, and on occasions i have to pick him up early or drop off something for him. Although i may be a few years older than the students currently enrolled, I dont think it is right or professional to be discriminating a younger individual who is only trying to pick up a younger sibling cause my mother works 12 hours shifts and cant come in at her leisure to sign him out. I’ve never had a problem with this school when I attended it back in 2014, I did what i had to do to stay out of trouble and graduate, now having these encounters as an alumni is really disheartening and doesnt give me much hope that this school will change in the future. If you are looking for a school where your child will be “okay” from 7:20am til 2:20pm, highly recommmended, but if your hoping to find something more than just a place to drop off your child I’d trying looking at other schools.

Amazing experience in this school. Although there were many students, the school is appropriately large. Seating during lunch is no problem. The teachers I had were outstanding and I will never forget them. They were very kind and many offered after school tutoring or help. Counselors were there for you and seemed very glad to help. Some bathrooms in the school were disgusting though. The ones found in the main building were the usual suspects. The school also has a great music and arts classes and after school activities. The library was quiet and had a large selection of books, more then I've seen in any other school. Overall amazing experience!

Best school in South Miami. No doubt. Good teachers who care about their students.

Well i think im going to go to this school dont know much about it but i hope it all goes good ....
