Miami schools were heavily represented in Newsweek’s recently released report “America’s Top High Schools 2015,” with nine schools finding a place among the publication’s rankings.
The schools were evaluated on a range of criteria, from graduation rate to the portion of students “college bound,” and then further divided into two separate ranking categories: national and “Beating the Odds,” for which researchers considered student poverty rates.
Here are the Miami-area schools that made the cut, along with their rankings and a few other metrics.
It is worth noting that only two Miami schools – Design & Architecture Senior High and Archimedean Upper Conservatory Charter School – made Newsweek’s top 500 national high schools, compared to the nine which made the publication’s “Beating the Odds” list; the most impressive being Miami Springs Senior High School, which managed a 93.3 percent graduation rate with 89.1 percent of its students being college bound despite more than three-fourths being in poverty.
