Original Research by School Decision on College and Careers
College and Careers is a public high school serving grades nine through twelve, located on Biscayne Boulevard in downtown Miami and part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The school holds an NCES identifier and appears in federal records as an open, regular public school, but the data available for this profile is thin in ways a parent should know about before drawing conclusions.
Enrollment is reported as zero across all grade levels, and demographic breakdowns carry no counts. State assessment results are absent, and no multi-year academic trend data was provided. The neighbor comparison set, which positions entities relative to districts in Miami-Dade County, could not be applied here because the underlying school-level metrics were missing. A graduation rate was not available. Whether these gaps reflect a school still in formation, a program operating under an unusual structure, or a data reporting issue is not something this profile can determine. A family interested in this school would want to contact Miami-Dade County Public Schools directly to understand the school's current enrollment status, program model, and academic offerings.
The name "College and Careers" suggests a vocational or college-preparation focus, but no program information was provided, so that inference should not be treated as confirmed.
What the broader context does offer is a picture of the district and city around it. Miami-Dade County Public Schools is navigating a sharp, sustained enrollment decline. The district has proposed closing or consolidating up to nine schools and reconfiguring grade structures, creating the real possibility that school assignments shift for families who move into the area. Families considering a Miami-Dade school right now should ask directly whether their assigned or chosen school is among those under review.
On the funding side, voters approved a property-tax increase tied to teacher pay and school safety staffing. That levy runs through 2027, when it will require renewal. Homeowners bear this as an ongoing cost; it also represents a continued revenue stream for teacher compensation across the district.
The school's Biscayne Boulevard address places it in downtown Miami, a dense urban setting with strong walkability. The Metromover, a free elevated transit loop, runs nearby with stops spaced a few blocks apart, making the area accessible without a car. The Metrorail connects downtown to the broader county. Maurice A. Ferré Park and Bayfront Park are close. The downtown neighborhood has shifted over recent years from a primarily daytime commercial district into a mixed environment with residential high-rises, museums, and street-level activity.
Housing near this address runs well above statewide and national medians. Rents in the surrounding zip code consume a substantial share of income at the local rent-to-income ratio, and home prices sit meaningfully above the Florida benchmark. The county as a whole saw a notable population decline in the most recent year measured, attributed partly to an immigration slowdown, and school enrollment dropped alongside it.
Because the core school-level data points are missing or zero, this profile cannot characterize what kind of academic experience College and Careers delivers. The gap is named here rather than papered over. Any family weighing this school should verify with the district whether it is actively enrolling students, what its program model is, and what its current student outcomes look like.
