Everglades Preparatory Academy

I am a current Senior at this school and have attended it since the 6th grade. There is a lot I have to say about this school, but before I begin I have to address some of the bad reviews left by fellow students. To begin with, there is no lie that the bathrooms are a mess. However, that is due to the childish and reckless students that trash it on a day-to-day basis. The staff does everything in their ability to keep up with the cleanliness, but it has to get hard with so many students not taking care of anything in the bathroom. Second, the food is definitely mediocre; however, students fail to realize that it is not the school that hires the food company. Instead, it is entire Charter Schools Association that manages the food going into their schools. With that being said, the food has improved and, like I said, it is mediocre and definitely edible. Finally, I would just like to address the teachers. While some of the teachers are hard to get by due to their strict rules in their classrooms, students fail to realize that communication is key. A teacher is not going to help you raise your grade if you never ask for help, hence why the expression "A closed mouth doesn't get fed" applies to these scenarios. Teachers at this school, for the most part, are easily approachable and understanding. Many times, (Parent's, I'm talking to you now) you never realize that your child's misbehavior is costing them their grades. Instead of sitting here and ranting about what the faculty and teachers "say" to your kid, take the time to set up a parent teacher conference. That's why they're there. With everything that I have just said, this school is definitely one of the golden charms in Homestead. They have improved by adding new activities, engaging students, and giving them opportunities to have fun in their classes. (Let us not forget our award-winning competitive sport and academic teams.) So before you just make your decision based on some of these senseless reviews, try and actually give this school a chance.

I love the school because they have very friendly teachers and administrators and their security is top notch. They do help the students and strive for the students to become everything they want to be . They are relatively a new school and they have come far in improving their strategies and implementing regulations that help the students and parents. They are a couple of kinks to iron out but for the most part they have their student's best interest in mind.

Great school!! All if my children have attended this school when they transitioned from Charter School at Waterstone. The administration is Awesome! The teachers Rock! They make learning fun and interactive! They really care! I could have not been more delighted on the education they received. This school is truly a gem 💎 in Homestead!!

EPA is amazing! From the office staff to the Teachers to the Custodians. As soon as you enter the school you feel welcomed and they answer any questions you might have. The Teachers are eager to help at all times with some exceptions. I will recommend EPA to everyone.

I like the school. I have to say it is a charter school so they don't let anything slide like regular public school do. Lunch is bad though. I recommend students to bring their lunch. Office staff are pleasant and they work with you. I recommend this school to anyone.

EPA has been excellent with my daughters education! The teachers as well as the office staff are the best.
Would recommend in a heartbeat!

I’ve been attending EPA since middle school and the staff and teachers are like family. Not only do they take care of our intelectual development, they also listen to us and give us advice when we need it.

EPA has been an amazing school for my child. Would recommend !
Teachers and staff are very helpful.

Great school, could use better lunches but the teachers really care and are educated so that makes up for it. They talk to you, help you, and really get in touch with the students.

Just Raided ABF Academy. No Boom Profit, but Insane Gun Box. POG
