Academics

No independently verified Florida state assessment or school-grade data was located for this profile; check the Florida Department of Education's school accountability reports directly for current figures. One secondary source citing its own "SchoolGrade" methodology described Miami Shores-area schools generally as averaging a C+ grade, but this wasn't independently verified against a primary state source for this profile.

Neighborhood

Miami Shores is a small, separately incorporated village just north of the City of Miami -- unlike the Miami Beach profile elsewhere in this directory, we were able to find crime data specific to this exact municipality rather than only a larger neighboring city.

Crime & safety

Miami Shores-specific sources show a genuinely consistent picture, and it's a favorable one: multiple independent providers describe Miami Shores as safer than 80-83% of Florida cities and comparable U.S. cities, with a violent crime rate close to or below the national average. One source specifically separates violent crime (23rd percentile, a D grade nationally) from drug-related crime (79th percentile, an A- grade), illustrating that a single overall letter grade can obscure real variation by crime category. Year-over-year trend data is mixed: one source shows a multi-year decline in both violent and property crime through 2024, while another shows a 2024 uptick in the city-level index.

Our calculated rating

We don't publish a single proprietary score. Based on the 1 of 3 possible components we could source for this school (safety, which itself varies meaningfully by crime category, see above), we're not showing a partial numeric rating. See our ratings methodology.
