How old is your kid? Why are you jerking them around geographically?

Don't know much about Jupiter schools but have several friends who moved from DC and San Francisco to Boca Raton and were very impressed by the schools there, both public and private.

Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Delray Beach too, but mostly private.

Your vague negativity adds nothing of value to this thread. There are millions of parents raising millions of kids successfully in Florida.


+ a million.

It's a mystery why the hater above even visits this thread. Extreme loneliness I guess.

Marjory Stonemann Douglass High School in Parkland, FL is very high performing and similar to schools in the DMV. Lots of kids going to ivys out of there.

We moved the reverse way (not to Jupiter) and found the opposite. Better academics, better social dynamics, better sports.

(2 kids in public, 1 in private)

That's nice. My young adult kid just got state licensure in their field and a job promotion. I guess they turned out ok?

In comparison with posts on this site about DC and Arlington area schools, Florida's don't seem worse.

Miami has some excellent private schools and excellent public magnets

Are you looking for private or public? In SFL if you’re going the private school route people gravitate towards pine crest academy and American heritage.
