I have heard only good things about N Broward Prep, most notably its drama program. Maybe money is an issue? Heritage has been giving very generous scholarships, along with improving programs year over year.

Could be. I do know one mom that said she feels like she is not getting the education that she is paying for. I was surprised to hear that.

I have two friends who pulled their kids out of No. Broward Prep. One of them felt her daughter was surrounded by too many kids with too much money. Every weekend these girls would meet at the mall in Boca, and her daughter couldn't afford to keep up.

Another friend had a son there, and he fell into drugs. It may not have been the school's fault, he also had some discipline problems in public middle school, but she was paying a lot of money, and felt he was no better off in terms of the company he was keeping.
