Summary

Colegiate Preparatory Academy is a small public charter school in Miami, FL, serving 114 students in grades 6 through 12, and is part of the Miami-Dade district. This school stands out for its perfect attendance record, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 0.0% for five consecutive years—a stark contrast to the district average of 28.2% and nearby schools like Booker T. Washington Senior High at 58.3%. However, despite this high engagement, the school has seen a sharp decline in its state ranking, dropping from the 58th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 19th percentile in 2025-2026, and its star rating fell from 3 stars to 1 star.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. While it has shown strength in some areas, such as 8th-grade English Language Arts and a 74% proficiency in Biology 1 in 2023-2024, recent test scores in core subjects like Geometry (29%), US History (43%), and 10th-grade ELA (41%) are well below district and state averages. The graduation rate also dropped significantly to 81.3% in 2024-2025, down from 88% in prior years, and now lags behind the district average of 93.1%. Interestingly, the school shares a campus with the high-performing Mater Brickell Academy High, which is ranked in the 85th percentile with 4 stars and scores 20-50 percentage points higher on most subjects, highlighting a stark contrast in outcomes at the same location.

The school serves a uniquely affluent student body, with only 5.26% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch—far lower than nearby schools like School For Advanced Studies-Wolfson at 17.04% and most others above 22%. It also spends less per student ($8,434) compared to the district average of over $12,000. With its small size, the school fosters strong accountability, but the recent academic and graduation declines suggest that high attendance alone isn't translating into strong outcomes. Parents should consider these contradictions carefully, especially given the school's rapid decline and the opportunity to compare it with the co-located Mater Brickell Academy.
