Summary

Biotech@richmond Heights 9-12 High School is a small, specialized magnet high school in Miami, FL, serving 297 students in grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it stands out for its focused biotechnology curriculum and exceptional academic performance.

This school is a powerhouse in science and history, with 91% of students proficient in Biology 1 and 95% in US History—dramatically higher than district averages of 75% and 76%, respectively. It also excels in English Language Arts, with 78% of 10th graders and 80% of 9th graders proficient, outperforming nearby schools like Miami Killian Senior High School (66% and 72%) and Miami Southridge Senior High (75% and 65%). Its small size and low student-teacher ratio of 16.5:1 create an intimate learning environment, contributing to a near-perfect graduation rate that has ranged from 96.3% to 100% over the past five years. However, math is a relative weakness, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 65% (below the district average of 69%) and Geometry at 58% (just below the district average of 60%).

Compared to its neighbor, Coral Reef Senior High School (just 0.13 miles away), Biotech offers a more specialized, science-focused alternative. While Coral Reef excels in math and overall ranking, Biotech matches or exceeds it in Biology (91% vs. 88%) and US History (95% vs. 94%). A growing concern is chronic absenteeism, which rose to 23.3% in 2023-2024—higher than Coral Reef's 11.9% but still below the district average of 28.2%. For parents seeking a focused, high-performing school with a strong science and humanities foundation, Biotech is a compelling choice, though it's worth noting its math scores are more average compared to its standout performance in other subjects.
