School Reviews

All 3 of my students loved attending Doral. I know have 2 graduated from HS and one is a freshman in HS. All the staff was like family to my students, they enjoyed the education platform at this school and have become successful young adults in part to the support from Doral Academy.

We have several children at Doral, with various strengths and interests, who are all thriving. The arts-integrated curriculum is fabulous, and we love the teachers and administrators.
1 6/1/2020
How many years can they make excuses of underperformance and continuous change and more change? Enough is enough! They don't deal with conflict particularly bullying although they will say they are and they have implemented a curriculum that discusses it. The teachers do their best but we see the Principal and Vice Principal undermine their efforts so there is confusion to know who and what to do or trust.
