Original Research by School Decision on J.c. Bermudez Doral Senior High
J.C. Bermudez Doral Senior High is a regular public high school serving grades nine through twelve in Doral, Florida, part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The school sits on NW 112th Avenue in a city that has grown rapidly from a largely industrial and commercial area into one of South Florida's most dynamic mixed-use communities, shaped by proximity to Miami International Airport and a strongly South American, particularly Venezuelan, cultural presence.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with that group making up the overwhelming share of enrollment. A modest fraction of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing the school on the lower end of economic disadvantage relative to many urban high schools. Data on English learner and special education populations was not available in the records reviewed.
State assessment results and graduation rate data were not available for this school in the records used here. That absence is worth naming directly: a parent trying to gauge academic outcomes against other schools or the Miami-Dade district average will want to ask the school or consult Florida's state education portal directly, which publishes school grade reports and subject-level proficiency data annually. The comparison metrics relative to districts in Miami-Dade County could not be applied to this school because the underlying school-level figures were missing from the data, not because the school sits outside the tested grade band. A school serving grades nine through twelve would ordinarily have state assessment data, so a parent may want to look into this further with the school or the district.
What is known about the school's setting is worth understanding clearly. The campus is integrated into the urban fabric of Downtown Doral, a planned town center built on a former suburban office park that now includes City Hall, public green space, a community arts center, and a branch library opening nearby. Publicly reported information notes that the school provides no student parking, which reflects its intentional placement within a walkable core rather than a car-dependent suburban campus. That is a meaningful daily-life detail for families.
Doral itself is a city in active growth. Multifamily housing has expanded sharply, with high-rise apartments and gated townhouse communities adding density alongside established single-family neighborhoods. Home values here sit well above both the Florida and national medians, and rents reflect that premium. Both have edged slightly lower year over year, but the market remains among the more expensive in the state. For a family budgeting around this school, housing costs are a real consideration.
The parent district, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, carries some context relevant to any family choosing this school. Voters approved a property tax increase in 2022 to fund teacher pay and school safety staffing, and that rate is set to expire in 2027 unless renewed, making it an ongoing variable for homeowners. More immediately, the district is managing a sustained enrollment decline that has prompted proposals to close or consolidate up to nine schools across Miami-Dade. Bermudez Doral Senior High has not been identified in those proposals in the data available here, but families new to the area should be aware that boundary changes and school reconfiguration are active district-level discussions. Phone policy is also in flux: Miami-Dade initially took an educational approach rather than an outright classroom ban, but state legislation is advancing toward a stricter statewide policy required by the end of 2026.
Program offerings for this school were not included in the available data, so whether the school carries AP courses, dual enrollment, career and technical pathways, or other academic tracks cannot be described here. A family for whom those pathways matter should ask the school directly.
