Miami-Dade County is comprised of hundreds of elementary, middle and high schools, whether private or public, so it may be overwhelming for people who are moving to Miami to narrow down top schools to a shortlist. Moreover, many people moving to Miami may base the community they buy a home strictly on the school their children will attend. So, although much more research would need to be put into deciding where to send your kid(s) to school, we want to provide you with a general list of the top public and private schools in Miami-Dade County to ease your search a bit.

Every year Niche.com reviews the best public and private schools across the country based on rigorous analysis of key statistics, along with millions of reviews from students and parents using data from the U.S. Department of Education. Ranking factors include state test scores, student-teacher ratio, student diversity, teacher quality, grade school ratings, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores and overall quality of the school district. Below, we have used the statistical data compiled by Niche.com to provide you with short lists of the top private and public schools in Miami-Dade County, broken down into elementary, middle and high schools. (Please note that niche.com’s initial list includes ‘Miami Area’ schools, but includes Palm Beach and Broward Countries, which we removed from this list).
