Summary

Mast Academy is a high-performing public magnet school on Key Biscayne, FL, serving 1,571 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district.

Mast Academy stands out as an elite academic powerhouse, consistently ranking in the top 2-3% of all Florida high schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2015-2016. Its current rank of 18th out of 838 schools (98th percentile) places it far above nearby peers like Young Womens Preparatory Academy (56th) and New World School Of The Arts (51st). What truly differentiates Mast Academy is its near-universal proficiency across all subjects and grade levels, achieving 90% or higher in 12 out of 14 tested subjects, including a perfect 100% in US History and 98% in Algebra 1. This consistency is remarkable compared to other high-performing schools that may excel in specific areas but show weaker results in others. The school also boasts a near-perfect 100% graduation rate with a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.2%, significantly better than the district average of 28.2%.

An interesting advantage is Mast Academy's inclusion of grades 6-8, allowing it to build a strong academic foundation early, with middle school students consistently scoring 25-35 percentage points above the district average in both ELA and Math. The school achieves these top-tier results with a modest per-student spending of $11,780, demonstrating that factors like school culture and instructional quality are more impactful than raw spending. For context, Miami Technical at Mater Innovation Academy spends $71,087 per student but has mixed academic performance. While nearby schools like Charter High School Of The Americas (294th) and Mater Lakes Collegiate Academy High School (37th percentile) struggle significantly, Mast Academy remains a consistent beacon of excellence in a highly stratified educational landscape.
