Summary

Miami Carol City Senior High is a public magnet high school located in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 807 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Miami Carol City Senior High has consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the Miami-Dade and Florida averages, its four-year graduation rates have been relatively high, ranging from 88% to 92.9% in recent years. However, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.2% to 55.4%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as The Seed School Of Miami and North Park High School, also show low academic proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, suggesting that the challenges faced by Miami Carol City Senior High are not unique to the school. In contrast, Miami Lakes Educational Center, a public magnet school, has significantly higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates, indicating that high-performing schools are possible within the same district.
