Summary:

Zip code 33033 in Homestead, Florida, is home to two high schools serving grades 9-12 within the Miami-Dade school district: Everglades Preparatory Academy High School and the Center For International Education A Cambridge Associate School.

These two schools present a stark contrast in performance despite similar enrollment sizes and socioeconomic profiles. The Center For International Education is a standout, ranking in the 94th percentile statewide with a 5-star rating and a perfect 100% graduation rate. It achieves exceptional proficiency rates, including 96% in Biology and 93% in US History. In comparison, Everglades Preparatory Academy ranks in the 60th percentile with a 3-star rating and a 95.7% graduation rate. While Everglades Prep shows strength in Algebra 1 and Geometry, it lags behind in Biology and US History. The most critical differentiator is chronic absenteeism: Everglades Prep has a rate of 56.8%, nearly triple the state average, while the Center For International Education has a low rate of 19.6%.

Interestingly, the Center For International Education achieves its top results with a higher student-teacher ratio (21.7:1) and slightly higher spending per student ($11,924) compared to Everglades Preparatory Academy (17.8:1 and $11,174). This suggests that the Center's specialized Cambridge curriculum and strong student engagement, rather than just resources, drive its success. Everglades Prep also shows significant year-over-year volatility in test scores, indicating a less stable learning environment. For families, the choice is clear: the Center For International Education is a top-tier school, while Everglades Prep faces a serious challenge with chronic absenteeism that impacts its overall performance.
