Magnet Schools of America (MSA), a national organization representing more than 4,000 magnet schools and programs, has recognized Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) with a total of 75 awards for the 2021-2022 award cycle, more than any other District in the country. MSA annually recognizes magnet schools and programs for their commitment to high academic standards, curriculum innovation, successful diversity efforts, specialized teaching staff, and parent/community involvement.

 

M-DCPS garnered 44 coveted Magnet Schools of Excellence Merit Awards and 31 Magnet Schools of Distinction Merit Awards.  Schools earning the MSA Merit Award, whether Distinction or Excellence, rank within the top 5 percent of all magnet schools in the nation. Schools awarded the Magnet Schools of Excellence Merit Award excelled in all areas measured and serve as National Exemplary Magnet School Models.
