M-DCPS Receives More National Magnet Merit Awards than any other District in the U.S.
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 78 awards
for the 2022-2023 award cycle. This is 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 staffs, and parent/community involvement.
M-DCPS received 26 Magnet Schools of Excellence
Merit Awards and 52 Magnet Schools of Distinction Merit Awards. Additionally,
six Magnet schools are being considered for a Top-Performing Magnet School
Merit Award. Schools earning the MSA Merit Award, whether Distinction or
Excellence, rank within the Top 5% category of all magnet schools in the
nation. Schools awarded the Magnet Schools of Excellence Merit Award not only
excelled in all areas measured, but serve as National Exemplary Magnet School
Models.
All awards will be presented at the national MSA annual conference to be
held April 18-22, 2023, in Dallas. For more information, visit http://yourchoicemiami.org.
