Summary

Mater Academy Charter High School is a public charter high school located in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,650 students. This school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mater Academy Charter High School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, and its high graduation rates, which have consistently ranged from 88% to 97.1% over the past few years, exceeding the district and state averages. The school also generally outperforms the Miami-Dade district and Florida state averages in various end-of-course (EOC) and FAST assessments, especially in Algebra 1, Geometry, and US History. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 44.9% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Jose Marti MAST 6-12 Academy, Mater Academy Charter High School generally performs better in terms of test scores and graduation rates. However, the school has a higher student-teacher ratio (33:1 in 2023-2024) compared to some nearby schools, which may impact the quality of individual attention and support provided to students. Despite these challenges, Mater Academy Charter High School has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the same as the district's rating.
