Summary:
The 33178 zip code in Doral, Florida, is home to three high schools within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, serving a combined student population from grades 8 through 12 with a notable mix of traditional and specialized academic programs.
The standout school in the area is School For Advanced Studies (SAS), a small magnet program for 11th and 12th graders that achieves exceptional results with a 97.8% graduation rate, 99% proficiency in US History, and a remarkably low 5.9% chronic absenteeism rate. Among the traditional schools, Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School shows the strongest upward trajectory, climbing from the 60th to the 69th percentile in state rankings while leading in Biology (72%) and 10th-grade ELA (71%) proficiency. J.C. Bermudez Doral Senior High excels in math and history, posting the highest Algebra 1 (68%), Geometry (68%), and US History (80%) scores, but struggles with 9th-grade English Language Arts at just 45% proficiency.
A critical finding is the stark contrast in chronic absenteeism: SAS has a stellar 5.9% rate, while Reagan and Bermudez report alarming rates of 40.9% and 48.4%, respectively—both far worse than the state average of 31.4%. Despite this, all three schools boast graduation rates above 97%, which masks the reality that many students at the traditional schools are not achieving grade-level mastery in core subjects like Algebra 1 (53-68% proficient) and 9th-grade ELA (45-62% proficient). Spending per student is similar across the board ($9,777 to $10,588), and all schools serve relatively low percentages of economically disadvantaged students compared to state averages, with SAS at 15.97%, Reagan at 17.78%, and Bermudez at 20.74%.
