GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

MAST has VERY low diversity rates. there are less than 30 black students in the entirety of the school. Also, there are often problems with teachers that seem to be swept under the rug. But, MAST also has an inconceivable campus, extremely high graduation rate, and the rigor increases chances of good college acceptances.

MAST Academy should stop allowing just anyone into the school. The academic standard of the school has degraded greatly since giving priority to Key Biscayne residents. Also, they defunded all their clubs to the point where most clubs disbanded and the rest struggle to function. Although the science and math department maintain their high quality, the other departments are severely lacking.

They don’t teach well. Big problem with teachers, they focused more in giving homework than to teach and they don’t care about the well being of the students. Basically the system is designed for those kids who can studied by them selfs.

Let me start by stating that this is one of the best schools in the country, it is ranked within the first 50. Teachers are amazing with very few exemptions. Students are challenged and made hard working individuals. The new principal has made a difference and her leadership skills create a wonderfu...
