Summary

American Senior High School in Hialeah, FL, is a large traditional public high school serving 1,582 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, where 51% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school presents a striking paradox: it boasts an exceptional graduation rate of 99% for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the district average of 93.1% and state average of 92.2%, yet it struggles with low academic proficiency and a chronic absenteeism rate of 52.6%—nearly double the district average of 28.2% and the highest among comparable traditional high schools in the area, except for North Gardens High School (83.3%).

Academically, American Senior High is a 2-star school (31st percentile statewide), consistently scoring well below district and state averages on core tests. For the 2025-2026 school year, only 45% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 (compared to 69% districtwide and 63% statewide), and just 46% were proficient in 9th and 10th grade ELA (compared to 63% districtwide). This performance is on par with the struggling Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High but dramatically lower than the high-performing Miami Lakes Educational Center, which achieves proficiency rates of 85-96% in the same subjects. Despite these challenges, there is a slight upward trend in test scores over the last four years, suggesting recent interventions may be starting to have a small effect.

The school spends $12,379 per student, higher than nearby high-performing schools like Barbara Goleman Senior High ($9,738) and Miami Lakes Educational Center ($11,011), indicating that funding is not the primary issue. The massive gap between the near-perfect graduation rate and low academic proficiency suggests students may be receiving diplomas without demonstrating grade-level mastery, a classic sign of social promotion. For parents, this means American Senior High excels at keeping students in school and graduating, but families should be aware that addressing chronic absenteeism and boosting academic achievement remain critical challenges that will likely determine the school's future trajectory.

What people are saying

by a parent
Tuesday, August 3, 2010

As a proud Patriot parent, I am glad to say my child exceeded tremendously in this school. She received scholarships from UF, UM, and UCLA. I greatly thank the American soccer coach for guiding her into these opportunities and for contacting scouts all over the nation to observe her. She excelled in her classes because of her teachers who cared about every student and their education. They helped her make her way through highschool. To the parents who stereotype on this school and feel that it is a danger to your child, it lies upon YOU on how your child evolves in school. Staying involved with their educators and coaches greatly assists with their succession. Close Quote
