Summary

Mater Academy Bay High School is a small, high-performing public charter school in Cutler Bay, FL, serving 390 students in grades 9 through 12 within the Miami-Dade school district.

This school consistently delivers exceptional academic results that far exceed both district and state averages. In the most recent school year, an impressive 93% of students were proficient in Algebra 1, which is 24 percentage points higher than the district average and surpasses nearby high-performing schools like Coral Reef Senior High School (85%) and Cutler Bay Senior High School (73%). The school also shows remarkable strength in English Language Arts, with 86% of 9th graders and 77% of 10th graders achieving proficiency—scores that are over 20 points higher than the district average and significantly better than nearby schools like Robert Morgan Senior High School and Miami Southridge Senior High. Furthermore, Mater Academy Bay has achieved a perfect 100% graduation rate for two consecutive years, a feat not matched by all its high-performing neighbors.

What makes these achievements even more noteworthy is the school's efficiency and ability to close achievement gaps. Mater Academy Bay spends $9,664 per student, which is lower than the district average and significantly less than schools like Palm Glades Preparatory High School ($15,466 per student), yet it produces far superior academic outcomes. The school has also demonstrated a remarkable ability to improve, turning a previous weakness in Geometry into a major strength with a 39 percentage point increase in proficiency over three years. Located less than a mile from Cutler Bay Senior High, Mater Academy Bay serves a student population with a higher percentage of economic need yet achieves comparable or better results, proving itself a standout model of educational excellence in the area.
