Charter High School Of The Americas

Q: Is Charter High School Of The Americas a good school?

Charter High School Of The Americas ranks 371 st of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Charter High School Of The Americas is a public charter high school in Miami, Florida, serving 155 students in grades 9-12. 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.

Despite having a very high Hispanic student population, ranging from 98.06% to 98.60% over the past 3 years, and a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby schools, Charter High School Of The Americas consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in several key test areas, including EOC Algebra 1, EOC Geometry, and EOC Biology 1. The school has also maintained strong graduation rates, ranging from 76.7% to 94.6% over the past 5 years, which are generally higher than the surrounding schools like Sports Leadership Arts Management Charter High School and Law Enforcement Officers Memorial High School.

However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 24.7% in 2018-2019 to 42.0% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the surrounding schools. This concerning trend may be impacting the school's recent decline in graduation rates, from 94.6% in 2019-2020 to 76.7% in 2022-2023. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be a priority for the school's leadership as they work to maintain the school's strong academic performance and graduation rates.

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.
