An overview of Miami Beach public schools
The federal directory lists 6 public schools in Miami Beach, FL: 4 elementary, 1 middle, 1 high. The 6 schools that reported 2024–25 membership enrolled 5,770 students, an average of 962 per school. The largest campus is Miami Beach Senior High School (2,134 students), and the largest elementary school is North Beach Elementary School (905).
Every listed school belongs to Miami-Dade. City names come from school mailing addresses, which often differ from district or municipal boundaries.
Across schools that reported staffing, the median student–teacher ratio is 17.8:1, higher than the statewide school median of 16.8:1. A ratio counts classroom-teacher FTE against total enrollment, so specialized programs and part-time staffing can move it; ask schools for actual class sizes by grade.
About 34% of students in reporting schools were eligible for free or reduced-price meals in 2024–25. This describes the community served; it is not a quality signal, and community-eligibility schools can report differently.
