Miami Community Charter High School

Summary:

Miami Community Charter High School is a public charter high school located in Florida City, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 265. 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.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (over 90%) compared to the surrounding schools, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is consistently lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (27%), Geometry (27%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (25%) were significantly below the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 76.7% in 2022-2023 to 93.9% in 2020-2021, but remains below the state and district averages. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 20.2% in 2018-2019 to 40.2% in 2022-2023, which is much higher than the surrounding schools.

When comparing Miami Community Charter High School to the surrounding charter and public high schools, such as Everglades Preparatory Academy High School, Keys Gate Charter High School, and Medical Academy For Science And Technology (M.A.S.T.) @ Home, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates and graduation rates than Miami Community Charter High School. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (79.25% in 2022-2023) at Miami Community Charter High School suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by the school. Overall, the analysis of Miami Community Charter High School reveals several areas of concern, and the school's performance lags behind the surrounding schools and the state and district averages, indicating the need for targeted interventions and support to improve 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.
