My daughter has been enrolled at Miami Springs since 2022, I've had a great experience thus far, the campus is well-kept, and the faculty is professional and focused on the mental health of the students. The teachers are available for feedback and are quick to respond to emails and/or meeting requests. The administration staff are always professional and courteous, the counselors do a very good job at dealing with students being bullied and intervening to ensure the issues do not continue to happen. The security guards on campus are also very professional and efficient in keeping our children safe. Safety precautions are taken seriously at Miami Springs Middle and I am so happy i enrolled my daughter to this school.

Homework is assigned as needed, not just to keep students busy. Homework is meaningful.

It depends if your computer works so you can do your online homework.
Posted: June 1, 2017
It could if the students wouldn't be so busy making drama over things like "Ugh some kid just stole my pencil"or "did you see what happened in facebook"

I rate my experience at this school a 6 or 7 out of 10, although it might be because I'm in the Cambridge program. I believe it's mostly the students who are the problem, but I wouldn't mind having clean bathroom and more electives. As of now, we only have 4 electives that do not require a teacher recommendation.

I get a ton of enriching homework from teachers who care, but sometimes it feels like too much. Children at my school have been known to go over the edge or have a breakdown over 3 projects all due the same day.

Teachers in what people at the school call "The New Building" are actually very nice and encouraging, as long as you do your homework and follow their rules. The usual reason most teachers seem disrespectful is that they have had to deal with many years of students disrespecting them first.

The faculty and staff do try to develop morals like honesty and fairness, but most of the students just don't want to learn form it. However, there are a few good students at this school.

I haven't seen a student with a learning disability yet.

At our school, much like others, bullying is addressed and students are told how to prevent it. However, calling someone a bitch or a whore and stealing something from their back pack is mostly seen as a fun game to the students, and most of them are too embarrassed or worried they might not fit in with the types of groups at the school to go to a counselor.

This school is the worst choice when it comes to picking a school there's a yearly fight every year where all the blacks, Latinos, and whites fight to see who runs the school for the year the teachers are the most disrespectful teachers you can ever have don't get me wrong there is some caring teachers and when it comes to ms roque the SCSI teacher she treats kids like dirt when the parents aren't there but when the parent is present she sits back and calms down I went to this school and this school is the reason why I dropped out I just couldn't learn with all these distractions and I can't respect a teacher that doesn't do there job that's just unrealistic again if your planning to put your son in this school don't even bother and have the school on speed dial your son will come everyday home explaining something new

Miami Springs Middle School is the worst school you can possibly place your child in. The school has gone completely down hill in the past three years. Not only is Miami Springs Middle a D school at the moment, but it is also full of careless teachers. Not to mention the school is extremely filthy, especially the bathrooms. MSMS has also eliminated many of the electives they had before. Kids are now forced to choose from electives they don't want. I believe the least they can do is give students a class they enjoy after a long day. The staff is rude and careless, not to mention they are disrespectful. Students are constantly getting into fights and the administration does nothing to effectively stop it. There is also a lot of drugs and inappropriate PDA between students. Do yourself and your child a huge favor and stay as far away from this school as possible.

This school has the best teachers and discipline because theres no problem there i recommend this school to everyone .

This school is full of immature kids. These kids don't mind their business. They have a new rumor everyday. Some teachers are good at their work but some don't even teach at all. This school is full of people who do drugs, sex, or just run their mouth all day about someone else. I don't think your child will find real friends here because everyone seems to turn their back on each other in this school. Some teachers are truly amazing , they'll treat your child like their own.

Miami Springs Middle School has come a very long way. We are lucky in Miami Springs to have such a wonderful school, great teachers, amazing staff and administrators. From the cafeteria staff, security guards all the way up to the Principal, are professional and very nice. Years ago this school had problems, however now it has grow in everyway. The number of electives, sports and clubs out does any school in Miami Dade County. The PTSA has been an amazing part of the school, in providing assistance and a friendly face to help with the transition from elementary. Great job by the administration and staff for making this one of the best schools around.

Miami springs middle is a really great school to attend. Even though in the past it had bad discipline and bad administration it's gotten way better. They have been more stricter about everything . The kid are mature and the teachers work hard for the students to get good grades. They teach very good and help the kids. The security is also good around the school. They clubs are great for the kids . I highly recommend this school it's very good

Miami Springs Middle School is a gem in the community. The school offers many advanced and honors placement programs for students of all intellectual ranges. The Science, Engineering & Technology Magnet provides hands-on opportunities to integrate students' love of science into many subject areas. The incredible variety of elective choices is one that few middle schools offer. In fact, it is the only middle school in Miami-Dade County that offers all middle school sports throughout the school year. A large number of staff and teachers reside in the community and their own children attend the school. That alone is a testament to the high educational standards provided at Miami Springs Middle School.

This is a terrible school. Its too overcrowded. Teachers dont care about the students. They dont take bullying seriously. My daughter was bullied there to the point were she got mentally ill, and the worst part is that they baker acted her, which was easier for them to that than to find the bully and put an end to it. Staff at the administrative office washed their hands and didnt admit they handled the case wrongly. Worst school in Dade County
