Research Beacon Hill Preparatory School private Schools in Miami, Florida

“The school does employ wonderful teachers; however I feel the administration hinders its progress. They frown upon activities that don't monetarily benefit them, and create an atmosphere of apathy with towards their staff.”

“My child has attended Beacon Hill since the tender age of 18 mo. & it is my pleasure to state that the environment at that time was condusive to my child's mental development. However, I don't feel that over the years my child received the quality/somewhat secluded education that was promised during the initial registration. There are good and bad things about every school. This school in particular may differ on the bad because it is the administration that does not contribute to the success of the students, not the school, the students. There are very little extracurricular activities or actual after school activities that are diverse. The school doesn't have an auditorium (despite being est in 1959) so all school programs are held on the outside where on every occassion, parents have to stand for the duration of programs. This was only a better alternative to daycare.”

“The school has an excellent curricullium. The veteran teachers are skilled at thier profession. The Director and Head Staff members take supervison over the newer teachers to ensure they abide and apply the required curriculium. There are various after school acitivities to choose from seperate from the regular school schedule. Security cameras and buzz in gate are provided. Tardiness when bringing students to school is frowned upon, because it interrupts the structured class schedule. They base there entry on grade point averages and does have a code of ethics in relation to student behavior. The school is private, so because of resources the school does have outdated cosmetic appearances inside the classrooms. The school is clean and well maintained. There is a need for a good involved principle to deal with parent /teacher acitivities. There is a need for cultural diversity.”

“I am very pleased and impressed with Beacon Hill. I have always heard negative things about the school hoever, I took a chance and enrolled my two year old daughter. I have nothing negative to say because my daughter knows all of her alphabets can count to twenty and knows how to write her name. I can not take the credit for that, all credit goes out to two lovely ladies Ms. Robinson & Ms. Dozier.”

“Beacon Hill still has the potential to be a great school for children. However, as with anything in this world, nothing is perfect. As far the teachers are concerned, the school has a good set of instructors employed (post-grads & pre-grads). The quality of education is not being affected negatively by the teachers; it is being affected negatively by how the school is being administered by the administrators. For example, how effective would certified mechanics be with fixing cars when the company he is employed by only facilitates them with screwdrivers? Furthermore, many parents have complaints about Beacon Hill and other schools, but there are very few parents who choose to actively pursue a resolution in an effective manner. There is strength in numbers!”

“My child currently attends Beacon Hill. I am thrilled with the quality of education she is receiving. This is my child's second year at BeaconHill and is in the Kindergarten. She is reading on a third grade level, knows how to add and subtract, loves her teacher and looks forward to going to school each day. She is part of the Beacon Hill Flag Corps which allows her the oppertunity to work with a team. I love Beacon Hill and look forward to my daughters continued success next school year at Beacon Hill. Thank you Ms. Hyman (Director) and keep up the good work.”

“The quality of education that Beacon Hill traditionally upheld does not exist anymore. It seems that money is more important than education. If it weren't for my daughter having a late birthday and had to attend Beacon Hill, she would not attend this school under no circumstance. The quality of education is at the lowest I've ever seen from this school!”
