Summary

Hialeah Gardens Senior High School is a large public high school in Hialeah Gardens, FL, serving 3,009 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district.

The school’s standout feature is its exceptional graduation rate of 99.3%, which far exceeds the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages and rivals top magnet schools like Mater Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy. However, this success comes alongside a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.1%, suggesting the school may have strong support systems to help students stay on track despite missed days. Academically, the school shines in English Language Arts, with 68% of 10th graders proficient—above district and state averages—but struggles in STEM subjects like Algebra 1 (46% proficient vs. 69% district) and Biology 1 (57% proficient vs. 75% district). This creates a clear split in performance, with ELA being a notable strength.

Compared to nearby schools, Hialeah Gardens is the largest in its area, more than double the size of Westland Hialeah Senior High School (1,191 students) and similar to Barbara Goleman Senior High (2,973 students). It also operates efficiently, spending $9,185 per student—the lowest among local peers—while achieving better outcomes than higher-spending schools like Hialeah-Miami Lakes Senior High ($13,990 per student). The school faces competition from elite magnet schools like Jose Marti Mast 6-12 Academy, which may draw top talent away. Overall, Hialeah Gardens excels at ensuring nearly every student graduates, but there is room to improve math and science proficiency.
