Summary:
In zip code 33010, there is one high school, Imater Preparatory Academy High School, a public charter school in Hialeah serving grades 9-12 with 994 students in the Miami-Dade district.
Imater Preparatory Academy stands out for its exceptional 98.7% graduation rate, far exceeding both the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this success is paired with a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1%, which is significantly worse than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages. The school serves a high-poverty population, with 74.35% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, and has a student-teacher ratio of 24.2:1. Its overall state ranking is 409 out of 838 high schools in Florida (51st percentile, 3 stars), a ranking that has remained stable over the past three years.
Academically, the school shows mixed results. It performs well in US History (76% proficient, matching the district), but struggles significantly in math, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 47% (vs. 69% district) and Geometry at 44% (vs. 60% district). Biology scores are also below average at 53% (vs. 75% district). English Language Arts scores are closer to district averages, with 9th grade at 61% and 10th grade at 59%. The school spends $9,125 per student. The key takeaway is that while Imater Preparatory Academy excels at graduating students, its high absenteeism and below-average math and science scores suggest that many students may not be fully prepared for college-level coursework, despite earning a diploma.
