I would not recommend this school. I am a student here and everyday I enter this school I feel…read moreuncomfortable. The teacher are strict and our new principal is very strict. When I first came here on August it was good we had a great principal but sadly got fired. Another thing is that we can't use our phones even when school is over. How am I supposed to call my ride!!!!??? This school is not fully secure. One way this school can improve is to the staffs would be more nicer. So has I said I would not recommend sending your child to this school. I recommend a different private school.

Sometime around September-October, a charity The Education Fund came by the insurance company I was…read moreworking for at the time. The Education Fund as per its website: "The Education Fund's first program awarded small grants to support teachers' innovative, hands-on classroom projects. Three decades and more than 4,550 "best practice" projects later, our collective programs continue to make a difference in the lives of 350,000+ students/families and 20,000 educators throughout Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Our initiatives have contributed $10.1 million in free classroom supplies. We've engaged hundreds of business professionals to become advocates for teaching quality. We are growing schoolyard eco labs at 51 elementary schools -- 25 are in progress to become Food Forests. More than 32,854 students' eating habits have improved as a result of this multi-dimensional outdoor lab initiative. The objective of each Education Fund program is to work side-by-side with the private sector to support and promote quality public education for every child in Miami-Dade County Public Schools by providing teachers and students with resources they need to be successful." As part of the program, volunteers can be paired with a local Miami Dade County teacher and help teach a class. That way people get to step into the shows of a teacher at least for a short while. I wanted to do this for a number of reasons: 1) I always think that when I approach or end up retiring I would like to teach at the university level. I thought well let me see how I handle this 2) I admire teachers, they are hard working, self-less individuals who work hard for little pay to pass on knowledge to the next generation I asked, of course, for a high school social studies or English class... I got a grade school class with 7 year old... special needs Science. Yeah I was nervous... I was wondering if I could get transferred to another but then I thought of a reason #3 3) I was thinking... you know I want kids in the future... maybe... this could be like training? Making it harder was that I was going thru a lot of issues at work and personally as the time went on and eventually had to move out of Florida and to Ohio. One of the last things I did while in Florida was teach this class. I gave my word to help teach the class, and I am true to my word. I reviewed the lesson plans And then I went to Avocado Elementary School in Homestead, Florida to help teach the class. The teacher Ms. Jackson and I spoke and we had the kids make water rockets. It was a really fun experience. It's funny, I have debated in school, argued in front of full auditoriums in the university and given classes in front of hundreds of people including in conference and I have never been as nervous as when I was talking in front of those kids. They look at you and hang on your every word like no other person... it's incredible. I swear I think I froze for a second. The teacher had them watch videos on water rockets and went over how they work first. I went over with the teacher and aide how to build them. It was fun seeing them so excited and into it. Then we went to launch them... first few times it didn't work but we eventually got to launch them into the air after finding the right ratio of water in the bottle. It was amazing to see the kids have fun as the bottles were launched into the air. Honestly, even I had a lot of fun. When I left, it was sad because a few of the kids cried. I now know how much work teachers put in... I was drained from just a few hours... I always had great respect for teachers... but now much more so. I am still trying to raise money for them as I have another 30 days... but have only been able to raise some from my family... anyway I am so happy I did this... The Education Fund gave me a memory at Avocado Elementary which I will treasure for the rest of my life.

Had two kids here for a total of six years combined and counting…read more Teachers are a mixed bag. Some seem like in purgatory, others are happy to be teaching children and my kids love most of their teachers. The class sizes seem a little large for the teachers to manage on the general education side. The special ed side has adequate teacher student ratio of 6 to 1 or less. The student population consists of a lot of new immigrants who do not speak English. They put the ESL kids in with general population, which is good, but not all teachers are bi-lingual, so I imagine that contributes to lack of teacher span of control. The teachers suffer from a lack of supplies, which should not be an issue. Expecting teachers to beg parents for supplies is not acceptable. The front desk is a mixed bag. They have been friendly, but have lost paperwork on several occasions. The school pickup / drop off is not too bad since it is in a rural area where you dont have to worry about traffic besides the commercial pickup service Vans who routinely cut and speed.

The school provides additional help if you are struggling to catch up with the class or obtain the information that is given. The students of the school are also friendly which helps you when you are leaving middle school and entering the "BIG" and "SCARY" stage of high school. Honestly i was nervous coming into the school but once i realized that the current students and staff are helpful and understanding which helped release a tad bit of stress on my part. Honestly this is a very outstanding high school. It provides many opportunities while you are in each grade level and even when your are out of school. The biggest thing that i love in this school is that your able to talk to all of the administration with no problem. Usually in most large/regular high schools you are not able to talk to the principal or assistant principal. But at Law Enforcement Officers Memorial High School the administration is able to see you and check up on you everyday. I am so glad that i got accepted into this school and i hope that everyone has the same experience as i did.

I understand now the turnover on administration the Principal especially. When you have an administrator not even look at you in the eye when he speaks it tells you something right there. The Integrity, Respect, and Loyalty to me is not there. I believe a school is there not only to support education but also support the students and it doe nothing of the sort. This is suppose to be an exclusive school for the best select but unfortunately the way this school is being administered is less than satisfactory. This school is perfect if a parent want to Mentally anguish their child. this school is not that it is said to be at all. I must say the Assistant principal is somewhat helpful but other that this school lacks everything it says it is. The way this school is by the time the student graduates will be so burned mentally that they will not want to do anything else.

The nice security guard directed me to the adult ed office. There was a lot of information on the doors as you can see in my pictures but I still went inside to ask about schedule for each classes for my mom. The gentleman in charge very gently gave me the information and even though I don't think my mom will do the English classes, because they are in the afternoon. She might do with my dad later on the citizenship classes, twice a week, late in the afternoon and this schedule is convenient for them. Fui a buscar más información sobre las clases de adultos para mi mamá, ya que ella está interesada en clases de inglés y ciudadanía. La guardia de seguridad muy amable me dirigió a la oficina. Había un montón de información en las puertas como se puede ver en mis fotos, pero aún entre a preguntar acerca de horario para cada clases para mi mama. El caballero a cargo muy educadamente me dio la información y aunque no creo que mi mama vaya a tomar las clases de inglés, porque son en la tarde, ella podría tomar con mi papá más adelante las clases de ciudadanía, dos veces por semana, en la tarde y este horario si es conveniente para ellos.
