Summary

C. G. Bethel High School in North Miami Beach, FL, is a small public school serving 269 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Miami-Dade school district.

This school faces severe challenges that set it far apart from nearby schools. The graduation rate is critically low at 51.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, while every nearby high school—such as Miami Norland Senior High School (96.6%) and North Miami Beach Senior High (97.2%)—boasts rates above 94%. Chronic absenteeism affects a staggering 91.4% of students, more than triple the district average of 28.2% and far higher than the next closest school, Miami Norland (50.8%). Academic proficiency is in the single digits or low teens for core subjects like Algebra 1 (15%), Geometry (5%), Biology (12%), and 10th Grade ELA (7%). In contrast, even the lowest-performing nearby traditional high school, Alonzo & Tracy Mourning Senior High School, has proficiency rates in the 30-50% range.

Despite spending $12,076 per student—more than several higher-performing neighbors like Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High ($9,461)—the school struggles with an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 38.4:1, limiting individualized support. There is one small positive sign: the graduation rate has doubled from a low of 23.6% in 2021-2022 to 51.9% in 2024-2025, suggesting recent interventions may be starting to help. However, the school remains in a state of emergency, requiring comprehensive support to address its systemic issues.
