Summary

Miami Senior High School is a large, traditional public high school in the heart of Miami, FL, serving 3,100 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Miami-Dade district. Over the past decade, the school has shown a clear upward trajectory in its state ranking, reaching a 3-star rating and ranking in the 57th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, indicating a sustained period of academic improvement and stabilization.

One of the school's standout strengths is its consistent graduation rate, which has never dipped below 93.6% over the last five years and reached an impressive 97.0% in the 2023-2024 school year—significantly higher than the district (91.8%) and state (89.7%) averages. However, the school faces two key challenges: high chronic absenteeism (38.8% of students in 2023-2024, compared to the district average of 28.2%) and underperformance in math, particularly in Algebra 1 and Geometry, where proficiency rates lag behind the district and state. In contrast, the school excels in US History, consistently outperforming both the district and state averages (e.g., 80% proficient in 2025-2026 vs. 76% district and 74% state).

Interestingly, the school is surrounded by high-performing charter schools like International Studies Charter High School (0.42 miles away, 5-star, 90th percentile) and Young Womens Preparatory Academy (1.38 miles away, 5-star, 93rd percentile), which achieve far superior academic results with similar or higher percentages of low-income students. This proximity suggests that the school's challenges—particularly in math and absenteeism—are not solely due to student demographics but are likely related to its specific operational and instructional strategies. With a per-student spending of $9,799 (lower than many neighbors but higher than International Studies Charter High School's $9,492), the school has a clear path for improvement by focusing on reducing chronic absenteeism and strengthening math instruction, which could significantly boost its overall performance.
