Everglades Preparatory Academy

school is horrendous bathroom and situation wise multiple fights happen and multiple issues are bad there from smoking to drugs to fights and academic wise there is certain teachers that care about you and your future but others give you bad vibes and don't even care they will just give you a assignment to do and not give help or encouragement. cafeteria is also a mess you have kids throwing food like its a circus and multiple incidents happened there too. Their way of salving problems is horrendous too not to mention the Covid-19 virtual learning situation there is multiple twists and turns within the website they use and takes a long time to download/turn in assignments and most teachers once again take advantage of the situation and grade your assessments last minute and mistake it so you dont have time to e-mail the teacher and fix the situation the best thing about this school is their athletics program (which is why i put 2 stars instead of one) but overall i wouldnt recommend sending your child to this school.

There was misunderstanding caused by the school and they need to update there processes. I am the custodial parent and due to covid19 had some changes in work and income and chose this school from others in the area temporarily. Little did I realize the drama they would create unnecessarily later when I tried to remove my child from the school. They claimed it was policy, however there are appropriate ways to go about things and then there are inappropriate ways... there were 3 different occurrences that caused much upset in my daughter during her school day, and also caused friction between her father and I. Some of the staff was apologetic and took responsibility for their actions, yet the principal herself Marrero refused to take any responsibility, blaming us for the situation that they in fact caused. I would highly recommend you read the school policies very carefully before sending your child to this school. My experience with the administration and their processes were not good to say the least. If I was asked to recommend this school, I would decline.

I had to come here for a year and let me tell you... This is not a school for everybody. I felt left out 100% of the time I walked in. The only help I received was a schedule change. An example of no help is when I asked for an online class and they refused to give it to me. Mind you I always got A's my final grades are also all A's. Student body is not the best. Wouldn't recommend for students who care about school and want to achieve something. Another thing there is smoking at this school, I'm talking about bathrooms and even in classes at times. Instead of enjoying my last year of middle school... I was really just waiting for it to be over. The teachers are good, they just need to teach better and give the students more of a challenge. If it wasn't for a friend I had coming with me I wouldn't had gotten a single someone to talk to. I left this school with nothing new. Just felt like whenever I was there it was pointless. School is very dis-organized.... there were holes in walls, bathrooms being shut down, broken basketball hoop stands, holes in walls, and even leaks in walls. If your planing on coming here and you strive in school and care about it dearly let this be your last option. Not everybody has the same experience but I did. I want to like my school, I want to have a challenge to get good grades, I want opportunities, I want a student body who I can talk to, I wanted a good experience. But after this year I have left the school and will start high school somewhere else. Finally, I did not enjoy this school and will not recommend. This is me just keeping it simple...

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 ud83dudc8e 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.
