Summary

North Miami Senior High School is a large public high school in North Miami, FL, serving 1,748 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Miami-Dade district, where 58% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically ranked in the bottom 30th percentile of Florida high schools, but recent data shows a dramatic turnaround, jumping to the 42nd percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in over a decade. This improvement is a hopeful sign for parents, though the school still faces significant challenges, particularly in math and English language arts proficiency.

The most striking feature of North Miami Senior High is its "graduation paradox": the school boasts an exceptional 97.6% graduation rate in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages, yet only 33% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 38% in 10th-grade ELA that same year. This contrasts sharply with nearby high-performing schools like Mast@fiu, which achieves near-perfect test scores and a 100% graduation rate, or Mater Biscayne Academy, with 74-91% proficiency. However, the school outperforms struggling neighbors like C.G. Bethel High School, which has a 51.9% graduation rate and 91.4% chronic absenteeism. North Miami Senior High also shows strong performance in content-heavy subjects like Biology 1 (74% proficiency) and US History (74%), on par with state averages, while lagging in foundational math and literacy skills.

Chronic absenteeism remains a concern at 35.5% in 2023-2024, though it is lower than many local schools. The school's per-student spending of $11,807 is moderate compared to neighbors, suggesting that how funds are used matters more than the amount. The most encouraging trend is the rapid improvement across nearly all subjects in 2025-2026, with double-digit percentage point gains in Algebra 1 (from 33% to 51%) and 9th-grade ELA (from 38% to 46%). If this trajectory continues, North Miami Senior High could close the gap with higher-performing peers, making it a school to watch for parents seeking a community-focused option with a strong commitment to graduation.
