The Big Enchilada: How Many High Schools Are We Talking About?
Here's the answer that will blow your flip-flops off: according to Niche, a website that knows way too much about high schools (seriously, it's like School Stalker dot com), there are a whopping 134 public high schools in Miami-Dade County.
Yes, you read that right. 134. That's more high schools than there are episodes of your favorite childhood sitcom (and let's be honest, those shows went on for WAY too long).
Tip: Read once for flow, once for detail.
So, How Do You Choose From This Ocean of Options?
Don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are a few things to consider:
- Magnet Schools: Do you have a passion for marine biology, or maybe a calling for the culinary arts? Miami-Dade boasts a ton of magnet schools that specialize in different fields. Think Hogwarts, but with less magic and more cafeteria mystery meat (although, who knows what they're putting in that stuff?).
- Location, Location, Location: Miami is a sprawling metropolis, so you'll want to consider how far you're willing to travel for school (unless you're into that whole "Miami Vice" vibe and want a sweet motorcycle commute).
- School Spirit (or Lack Thereof): Do you crave a Friday Night Lights atmosphere, or are you more of a "leave me alone and let me learn" kind of student? Research the school's culture to find your perfect fit.
Remember, choosing a high school is like picking out a swimsuit: it's gotta fit you just right.
