Summary:
The city of Naranja, Florida has only one public high school serving grades 6-12, the Miami MacArthur Educational Center. This school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state of Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the Miami MacArthur Educational Center does not appear to be a standout school, consistently ranking in the bottom third of Florida high schools over the past three years with a 1 out of 5 star rating.
The school's student population is predominantly Hispanic (60.81%) and African American (36.49%), with a small percentage of White students (2.7%). Academically, the school is struggling, with a very low four-year graduation rate of only 36.8% and extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 63.7%. Test scores are significantly below district and state averages across a range of subjects and grade levels, with only 10% of students proficient or better in Algebra 1 compared to 61% in the district and 55% statewide.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $71,983 per year and low student-teacher ratio of 3.8 to 1, the Miami MacArthur Educational Center appears to be a school in need of significant improvement and intervention. With a majority of students coming from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, the school is not keeping pace with district and state averages, suggesting the need for targeted strategies to help the school and its students achieve greater success.
