Miami Southridge Senior High is a public high school in Miami, Florida, serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 2,085 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the school's strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 94.2% to 97.6% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state and district averages. However, Miami Southridge Senior High faces challenges, with a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 46.8% to 48.9% in recent years, much higher than the state and district averages. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (40%), 10th grade English Language Arts (42%), and 9th grade English Language Arts (35%) falling significantly below the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.78% to 87.18% in recent years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Miami Southridge Senior High to nearby schools, some notable differences emerge. Cutler Bay Senior High School and Biotech@richmond Heights 9-12 High School have significantly higher test scores and graduation rates, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates, compared to Miami Southridge Senior High. Similarly, Coral Reef Senior High School and Mater Academy Bay High School also outperform Miami Southridge Senior High in terms of test scores and graduation rates. While the school's per-student spending of around $10,900 is higher than the state and district averages, it does not seem to translate into significantly better 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.
