We are moving from NYC to Miami. It would be Manhattan to Brickell to avoid a daily commute. My partner is in office 5 days a week. I would like a perspective from people living in Miami on schools and quality of education - both elementary and middle school, public or private. We are spoilt in NYC with choice and price points in private schools. I am generally very happy with the quality of education kids get in Manhattan but life happens, so here we are, researching schools in Miami. Thanks!

As long as the kids are willing to speak & learn in English as their second language and learn to be fluent in Spanish or Portuguese, all should be fine!

You are better off living in Coconut Grove or Coral Gables, if you have kids. I am a former NY, have been living in Brickell and I love it but it’s not easy for those with kids. My friends have their kids in Kushman - I think it’s 37k per kid?

My spouse is a public teacher at a T10 school district and they had many colleagues that moved to Florida during Covid to care for their aging parents. Uprooting their own families with young kids and moving from various top school districts across America to SWFL, they saw a very dramatic chasm for everything education related. FL simply does not value children’s education in the public school realm and private is based on whether you’re rich enough or influential enough to get your kids in. Then when they get in, their friends parents are all crypto-bros, music artists, some shady import/export oligarch from Russia/Balkan nation or Central/Latin America. My spouse’s friends ended up teaching at the private schools because public schools in FL make minimum wage while the top private schools make way more than even the administrators here in the north.

FL is a strange place.

Yeah. All the snarky jokes in the beginning had me worried that I had made a mistake asking a very genuine life question. FB is truly helpful in getting right type of information from wise people. Thanks folks!

More broadly Florida places value on the individual and not the community. People make decisions on what is best for them personally with little regard for the greater good.

SPHR exam- has anyone ever been “randomly selected” for an application audit? This just happened to me and the sheer amount of effort that is going to go into collecting all the documents almost makes me not want to follow through. Since I didn’t finish undergrad, they’re asking for a copy of my high school diploma or transcript and that itself is going to be an absolute nightmare to get hold of. Guess I’m not really looking for a solution here, just venting.
