Best Miami high schools?

I'm moving to Miami next year and trying to figure out the high school scene. What are the top Miami high schools in terms of academics and extracurriculars?

4 months ago

Miami is renowned for its diverse assortment of quality high schools with strong academics and robust extracurricular programs. A few notable ones include:

1. Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH): DASH is nationally recognized for its rigorous curriculum and dedication to the design and architecture fields. It offers many extracurriculars including participation in design competitions.

2. School for Advanced Studies (SAS): This is a dual-enrollment high school that partners with Miami Dade College, allowing students to take college courses and earn college credit while in high school. They have a variety of clubs and activities, from Chess Club to Student Government.

3. Young Women's Preparatory Academy: This is a leading all-girls school that prizes academic excellence and prepares students for success in both university and their chosen professions. It offers clubs such as Mock Trial and Model United Nations.

4. Mast Academy: Known for its marine-focused curriculum, this school offers not just strong academics but also interesting extracurriculars tied to marine studies.

5. Coral Reef Senior High School: This institution offers a number of magnet programs. It's known for academic strength and offers numerous extracurriculars, from sports to debating.

Remember that the 'best' school is relative to the student - it's crucial to consider not only academic rigor and extracurricular opportunities but also the culture and environment of a school and how it fits with your personal preferences and style of learning. Connecting with local families and students could give you a deeper insight into what each school is really like. Schools often host open houses or tours that can also give you a feel for the community.
