Sarasota Military Academy Prep 3101 Bethel Lane, Sarasota, FL 34240

"I am currently going to this school, i came here because i thought it would be better, not alot of cussing, no behavior problems, Heck nah, its the opposite, Kids get written up for the childish things, Parents send there bad kids here cause it has military in there name, A teacher has wanted to quit hwe job because of the kids in 2nd period, If you send you kid, Your in for a treat.."

"I enrolled my son so that he would have structure and not become bullied. This school is not for kids with behavior problems or are immature teens! I will say they care about students. I know they are understaffed! The one thing you should know is they let kids complain about other kids. Your child will get in trouble for minor things. Or hear say. They are set up to fail the kids who have maturity and behavior problems. I would say 70 percent thrive there. The rest leave or are expelled. And the uniforms are expensive! Liked most staff I met."

"My son has enjoyed his years here. He has excelled and made lifelong friends. So glad I found this middle school. They also sent out a message about following state law instead of school board so I coud not be prouder to be a part of this school."

"A lot better than the high school. Pretty decent and had some pretty awesome things going on like the outbreak. Would recommend for a middle school. But please for the love of your child do NOT send them to the high school. It is the definition of trashy. But I loved the prep and it is a really good school."

"I came here for 6th grade, after a few weeks I immediately wanted to change schools. Most students in this school are obnoxious and completely rude. Staff is horrible and lazy, the lunch line takes about half an hour to actually get food. In breakfast they don't give you an option in what you want to eat, most of the time the breakfast is disgusting so I have to skip it most of the time until I decided to get my own breakfast. During breakfast the staff gave expired milk twice which is horrible. They clearly don’t check the milk often. One thing I hate the most is how they give you 5 minutes to eat your breakfast once it’s over they kick you out. I’m a slow eater so I don’t get to finish my food and during classes I’m always hungry. They have the stupidest reason to write kids up, most of the time the good kids get written up. My friend got a minor referral for drinking water on the gym floor, and nobody told her that she couldn’t do that. I sometimes am legitimately scared to do anything because I don’t to get a referral. Unreasonable rules, I understand that this school is under the impression of military. But, the rules are unbelievable. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is because of clubs, this school has many clubs that most schools don’t have. Raiders, cross country, golf, etc. Barely anyone takes this school seriously, I heard better reviews from my friends in Booker middle than here."
