21% of M-DCPS Schools named in Florida’s 2024-2025 Schools of Excellence List

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) accounted for an impressive 21% of Florida schools designated as Schools of Excellence in the 2024-25 school year on the list the State Board of Education released last week. 

In addition, among large urban school districts, M-DCPS had the highest percentage of the Florida schools designated as Schools of Excellence in the 2024-2025 school year. Of these large districts, M-DCPS more than doubles the next largest district, highlighting its statewide leadership.

Attached is the list of schools receiving this designation in our District (Attachment A) as well as a chart outline the percentage of the schools receiving this designation in the top six school districts (Attachment B).

As outlined in Section 1003.631(1)(a) of the Florida Statutes (F.S.), a School of Excellence is defined as a school whose possible points earned in its school grade calculation are in the 80th percentile or higher for comparable elementary, middle, high schools and combinations for at least two of the last three school years.
