Original Research by School Decision on Mater Brickell Preparatory High School
Mater Brickell Preparatory High School was a charter school located in Miami, Florida, operating under the Miami-Dade district. The school's records show it as closed, and its operational status is confirmed as such in the directory data. For a family researching it as a current option, this is the essential starting point: the school is no longer operating.
Because the school is closed, nearly all of the data fields one would normally use to evaluate an academic program are absent or inapplicable. Enrollment figures, student demographics, state assessment results, graduation rates, program offerings, course access, discipline data, and staffing information were all not available. Whether this reflects the school's closure before certain data was captured, or gaps in reporting during its final period of operation, the data does not say. What is clear is that there is no academic or student-environment picture to draw from the available record.
The school's directory listing shows it served a single grade designation and was classified as a regular charter school. No magnet designation or Title I status was recorded.
The physical address places it in the South Miami area of Miami-Dade County, within a city whose housing market is among the most expensive in the state and well above national benchmarks. Rents in the surrounding zip code are meaningfully higher than the state median, and the price-to-income ratio reflects a market that has stretched well beyond what national norms would suggest is affordable. Home values have continued to edge upward year over year, though at a modest pace. For any family considering this part of Miami, the housing cost is a real planning factor regardless of school choice.
Miami itself is a dense, walkable urban city with strongly differentiated neighborhoods. The Brickell corridor, close to where this school was situated, is part of a zone that has seen significant high-rise residential development. The broader city is served by Metrorail and the free Metromover, which connects downtown, Brickell, and surrounding districts across many stations. Major employers in the area span government, health care, education, and hospitality, with Baptist Health South Florida, Jackson Health System, the University of Miami, and Miami-Dade County Public Schools among the largest.
At the district level, Miami-Dade has been navigating a period of sustained enrollment decline, which has prompted a wave of proposed school closures and consolidations publicly reported as of spring 2026. Families moving into the district should be aware that school assignments and grade configurations are in active flux, and reassignments are possible. Voters approved a property-tax increase some years ago to fund teacher compensation and school safety, set to expire unless renewed, which continues to affect homeowners in the district. State-level cellphone policy is also in transition, with Florida moving toward a full school-day prohibition.
For a family who came across Mater Brickell Preparatory High School in their research, the school is closed and enrollment is not possible. A family looking for a charter option within Miami-Dade would need to look at currently operating schools, keeping in mind that the district's own boundary and consolidation process may affect what is available in any given zone.
