Find What Works: Schools

Ratings

Rank Miami-Dade schools by any outcome, framed against their peer group of up to 40 demographically similar schools (same school level, sector and magnet status) — not district-wide averages, which flatten the differences between student populations.

Outliers
Schools that stand out within their peer group on FAST, end-of-course exams, learning gains, graduation, absenteeism and safety.
Movers
Biggest year-over-year changes — gains and losses on any outcome.

Methodology in one line

Every outcome is ranked within each school's peer group of up to 40 demographically similar schools (Black, Hispanic and White shares, English learners, economic disadvantage, size; hard filters on school level, sector and magnet status). Direction-adjusted so a high percentile always means a good outcome. Suppressed cells are hidden by default. Full methodology.
