Miramar High School

Q: Is Miramar High School a good school?

Miramar High School ranks 411 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Miramar High School is a public high school serving 1,931 students in grades 9-12 in Miramar, Florida, which is part of the Broward County School District. While the school maintains high graduation rates, it faces challenges with a high percentage of African American students, elevated chronic absenteeism, and lower academic performance compared to district and state averages.

Miramar High School has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (78.09%) compared to nearby schools like McArthur High School and Jann Mann Educational Center, which have more diverse racial compositions. The school has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 92.9% to 94.7% over the past few years, outperforming the Broward County and Florida state averages. However, Miramar High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.2% in 2019-2020 to 45.0% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Academically, Miramar High School's test scores, particularly in Algebra 1, Geometry, and 9th/10th grade English Language Arts, are consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages, indicating academic challenges. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the years, from 414th out of 648 Florida high schools in 2012-2013 to 517th out of 792 in 2022-2023, despite maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. These factors, combined with a high percentage of students (around 70%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population that may require additional support and resources to improve academic outcomes.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
