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.

The high school I attend consists of many students from different countries. This opens the opportunity for many students to communicate and feel identified. The school takes care of teaching them how to get more involved in the school's culture. The activities in the school unite everyone as a school to cheer up and get mixed. I would like to see change in the quality of the food and the options there can be.

Miami sunset has opened door to many opportunities for me and many others I know due to its programs. It has amazing programs to choose from like dual enrollment at Miami dade college. Many magnets including medical and engendering. Also academies like cyber security and hospitality. I myself form part of the medical magnet and the dual enrollment program, and I'm extremely grateful for them.

As a parent who has seen this school grow over the past few years as my children have all graduated in the past 5 years, the difference of this school is nothing less than impressive. With a brand new administration and custodial staff, the school spirt as well as the overall image of Miami Sunset S...
