Miami Senior High School

Miami Senior High School is a high school in Miami, FL that enrolls 2,905 students in grades 9-12, putting it among the larger public campuses in the Miami-Dade school district. That headcount is above the 646-student average for schools in the district.

EDFacts assessment data puts 52% of students at or above grade level in combined math and reading, a little above the national midpoint where roughly half of tested students clear the bar. That is 4 points above the 48% average for the Miami-Dade school district. Against the 48% Florida statewide average, the school sits 3 points higher.

Over the last three reported years the district proficiency rate this school inherits has risen by about 24 points. As a high school, it reports a 74% adjusted-cohort graduation rate, the share of first-time ninth-graders who earn a regular diploma within four years.

The student-teacher ratio is 24.2 to 1, near the high end of the national distribution; NCES counts every certified teacher, so this figure includes specialists as well as classroom staff. 69% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a majority-low-income enrollment. It receives Title I federal funding, which flags a higher share of low-income students rather than measuring school quality.
