Summary:

Miami Springs Senior High School is a public high school serving 998 students in grades 9-12 in Miami Springs, Florida, which is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District. While the district is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating, Miami Springs Senior High School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools.

The school has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (81.96%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 44% to 97.96% Hispanic students. Its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 85.5% and 93.8% in recent years, generally higher than Hialeah Senior High School (96.6%) but lower than charter schools like Mater Academy Charter High School (96.0%) and Mater Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy (100.0%). Additionally, Miami Springs Senior High School has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 26.4% in 2018-2019 to 40.2% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools.

The school's test scores are generally lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (49%), Geometry (50%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (42%) are significantly below the district and state averages. These challenges suggest the need for targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the surrounding charter schools to improve the school's overall performance and student 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.
