Summary

North Miami Beach Senior High is a traditional public high school in North Miami Beach, FL, serving 1,075 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade district, where a majority of families (about 58%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, indicating significant economic need.

This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate—97.2% in 2024-2025, well above the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages—yet this success contrasts with low academic proficiency on standardized tests. For example, only 24% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 (vs. 66% district) and 35% in 10th-grade ELA (vs. 60% district). However, there is a bright spot: the school consistently outperforms in US History EOC exams, with 80% proficiency in 2025-2026 (vs. 76% district). A major challenge is chronic absenteeism, which at 39.3% in 2023-2024 is significantly higher than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%). Compared to nearby schools, North Miami Beach Senior High sits in the middle of a polarized neighborhood. It is far from elite magnet schools like Mast@fiu (ranked #6 in the state) and iPrep Academy North (ranked #48), but also far from struggling C. G. Bethel High School (ranked #802), which has a 91.4% chronic absenteeism rate and a 51.9% graduation rate.

Encouragingly, the school is on an upward trajectory. Its state rank jumped from the 26th percentile to the 47th percentile in recent years, and test scores improved across subjects—Algebra 1 proficiency rose from 24% to 45%, and 10th-grade ELA from 35% to 57%. The school also spends more per student ($13,904) than many higher-performing peers like Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High ($9,461), suggesting that funding alone isn't the issue. For parents, this school offers a strong graduation guarantee and a promising recent trend, but it faces real hurdles in academic achievement and attendance that require attention.
