Miami Beach Nautilus Middle School

"This school has been upgraded in every way. The PTSA has been fundraising for upgrades like tons of new computers, science tables, art tables, bathroom hand dryers, new bottle fill water fountains all over the school.I am a parent of 7th & 8th grade boys and they love Nautilus Middle School. So many kids from North Beach Elementary have come over to Nautilus and all the bad reviews seem to be from kids just messing around with this review site.. This is a great public school that is very warm and welcoming to parents and the school uniform store is where you can go to ask about anything. I would definitely reccommend sending your kid there. all the kids I ask love their experiance there. GO SHARKS!!!"

"I used to go to this school. It was fun especially because me and my friend Ivan did parkour. Some teachers cared about you others were crap. The school did have kids with drugs but not much. I remember when the 6th graders started to sell porn. Lol good times."

"This school is the worst and I am not saying it just because the work I am saying it because the kids there are horrible. They bring adult thing to that school and bully everyone. Plz take my advice and never go to that school. I was a student there for a mounth and it was horrible. Now that I left the school I get random phone calls and text saying that they all want to kill me and calling me bad words. If u want your kid to go there and commit suicide then go ahead. The teachers are lazy and the kids always skip class. I am glad I am out of that bad school. The kids are saying they like it because u do no work there at all. They barely give out homework and badly teach u anything. I hate that school and glad I am going to a different one."

"This school is great and most of my friends love it too. I learn a lot and have a lot of fun. There are some drugs but they are only used by the kids who haven't been given a chance to get past them."

"My son attended Nautilus for 6th & 7th grade until he transferred to a Charter school and I have no complaints. The office staff at Nautilus was always helpful and pleasant specially Ms. Diaz. There were a couple of teachers that in my opinion needed to motivate students better and teach more effectively but other than that, I don't think it's a bad school comparing to other public schools in Miami-Dade. There are the usual issues with students fighting once in a while and although my son and I never saw it, drugs at the school have been mentioned in some of the other reviews (again, I never saw any of that) but with that said, I'm a FIRM believer that it all starts from home. If you teach your child right and always stay involved in what he or she is doing, you will have no problems."
