GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The IB program at Miami Beach SHS is superb. Great academics and college prep. The students are pushed to take mostly weighted AP and IB courses.

When i first heard of Miami Beach Senior High it had an extremely negative stigma around it. I swore i would never go to a school that had that kind of reputation. As time passed and i grew out of my small charter school i realized that Miami Beach Senior High was a bigger school with more opportunity. With my freshman year beginning online during Covid, the second i stepped into the building i was so lost as i had no one i knew in my first class. My eyes swell up with tears and immediately i had students and staff ready to help me with whatever i needed. 4 Years later i am so greatful i gave this school a chance as i was able to meet and work with so many kinds of people and made it my second home.
