Three Additional M-DCPS Schools Have Achieved Magnet Schools Standards of Excellence Status
Magnet Schools of
America (MSA), the national organization representing over 4,000 magnet schools
and programs, announced the latest nationally certified magnet schools for
2023. Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) had 15 magnet schools undergo
this robust magnet standard of excellence evaluation. Thirteen magnet schools
achieved the highest certification level of Nationally Certified
Demonstration School and two were designated Nationally Certified Schools.
As M-DCPS celebrates 50 years of school choice through magnet programs, M-DCPS now has a total of 22 Nationally Certified Demonstration Schools and 13 Nationally Certified Schools.
The magnet
certification process awards official national accreditation to magnet schools
that establish Magnet School Standards of Excellence. The
designation was created to recognize the most exemplary magnet programs. These schools successfully completed a
nine-month evaluation process and demonstrated through 400 artifacts,
reflection, and strategic action that they have established Magnet School
Standards of Excellence in their schools.
This achievement further cements our position as your child’s best choice for education in Miami-Dade, leaving no doubt about our commitment to provide the highest quality educational options in the region.
