Summary

Medical Academy For Science And Technology (M.A.S.T.) @ Hom is a magnet high school in Homestead, FL, serving 511 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it stands out as an elite academic powerhouse in an area with a stark educational divide.

M.A.S.T. consistently earns a 5-star rating and ranks in the top 7% of all high schools in Florida (57th out of 838). Its academic performance is exceptional compared to nearby comprehensive schools. For example, 89% of 10th graders are proficient in English Language Arts, which is roughly 30-50 percentage points higher than Homestead Senior High School (51%) and South Dade Senior High School (58%). In science, 87% of students are proficient in Biology, and an astounding 96% are proficient in U.S. History. The school also boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for four consecutive years. Its closest competitor is the Center For International Education A Cambridge Associate School, which ranks slightly higher (50th) and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (19.6% vs. 26.3%), though M.A.S.T. serves a slightly more economically diverse student body.

While M.A.S.T. is a top-tier school, it is not immune to local challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate of 26.3% is better than the district average (28.2%) but still notable. This contrasts sharply with the severe attendance crisis at other local schools, such as Chambers High School, which has a 98.7% chronic absenteeism rate and a 31.8% graduation rate. The data reveals a "tale of two schools" in Homestead: elite magnet programs like M.A.S.T. and CIE thrive, while large comprehensive high schools often rank in the bottom half of the state. For parents, this means that gaining admission to a magnet program like M.A.S.T. can dramatically shape a student's academic outcomes in this community.
