Summary:
In zip code 33186, there is a single high school option: Bridgeprep Academy Of Village Green Middle High School, a combined middle and high school serving grades 6 through 12 with 696 students in the Miami-Dade district.
This school presents a striking paradox. On one hand, it boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding both the district (93.1%) and state (92.2%) averages. On the other hand, it has an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.1%, nearly double the district average. Academically, the school is a tale of two halves: it excels in social studies, with 81% proficiency in US History and 84% in Civics, but struggles significantly in core areas like 8th Grade Science (16% proficient) and 10th Grade English Language Arts (41% proficient). The school's state ranking is on an upward trend, improving from the 29th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 41st percentile in the most recent data.
A major concern is the apparent "middle school slump." Performance drops dramatically between 6th and 8th grade, with 8th-grade Science (16%) and ELA (35%) scores far below 6th-grade ELA (65%) and Math (66%). This suggests a systemic issue in the middle school years that needs attention. While the school spends $10,127 per student and has a 24:1 student-teacher ratio, the combination of high absenteeism and uneven academic performance makes it a school that requires careful consideration, especially for families with students entering the middle grades.
