Summary

Young Womens Preparatory Academy in Miami, FL, is a small, all-girls public magnet school serving 295 students in grades 6 through 12, and it consistently ranks among the top 10% of high schools in Florida, currently sitting at 56th out of 838 schools statewide.

This school is an academic powerhouse, with test scores that are 30 to 50 percentage points higher than the Miami-Dade district and state averages in nearly every subject. For example, 95% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, compared to just 69% district-wide, and 93% are proficient in 10th-grade ELA, far exceeding the district's 63%. This level of performance is unmatched by nearby schools like Booker T. Washington Senior High, where only 37% of students are proficient in 10th-grade ELA, or Sports Leadership Arts Management Charter High School at 55%. Even the highly-ranked New World School Of The Arts cannot match YWPA's math scores, with only 65% proficient in Algebra 1. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.7%, less than half the district rate of 28.2% and a stark contrast to Booker T. Washington's staggering 58.3%.

YWPA has achieved a 100% graduation rate in four of the last five years, a feat that sets it apart from other local schools like Mater Brickell Academy High (96.6%) and Colegiate Preparatory Academy (81.3%). Its unique model of serving grades 6-12 allows it to build a strong, college-preparatory culture from middle school, creating a supportive community that drives high attendance and academic success. While its state ranking has slightly declined from a peak of 18th in 2015-2016, YWPA remains an elite choice for families seeking a rigorous, safe, and high-achieving environment for their daughters in the Miami area.
