Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy

Summary:

Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy is a high-performing public charter school serving grades 9-12 in Doral, Florida, with a student population of 402. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is the 24th ranked district out of 68 in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy consistently ranks among the top high schools in Florida, maintaining a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years. The school boasts a 100% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Its students consistently outperform their peers in the Miami-Dade district and the state of Florida on a variety of standardized tests, including EOC (End of Course) exams and the FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 86% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in FAST English Language Arts, compared to 56% in Miami-Dade and 53% statewide. While the student population is predominantly Hispanic (over 95%), the school has a more diverse racial makeup compared to some nearby schools, such as Westland Hialeah Senior High School and Miami Coral Park Senior High, which have significantly lower test scores and graduation rates.

Doral Performing Arts & Entertainment Academy's consistent academic excellence, high graduation rates, and strong test scores make it a standout institution in the area. The school's reputation and draw from a wider geographic area may contribute to its racial diversity, which is an interesting finding. While the school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state and district, it has seen an increase in recent years, reaching 14.4% in the 2022-2023 school year, an area the school may want to monitor and address to maintain its high levels of academic achievement.

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.
