Miami has plenty of reasons to brag, but here’s\u00a0one that has\u00a0nothing to do with idyllic beaches<\/a> or lively nightlife<\/a>: Some of the best high schools in the country are located right here in South Florida.<\/p>\n

The latest U.S. News & World Report rankings<\/a> of the country’s best high schools put\u00a013\u00a0Florida schools\u00a0in the top 100 in the nation. That’s a number matched only by Arizona; Texas ranked third with 11 schools in the top 100.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED: One of the world\u2019s 100 best schools is in Miami<\/a><\/p>\n

The rankings considered factors including college readiness, curriculum breadth, graduation rates and performance on state assessments. And while Pine View School took the No. 1 spot in all of Florida, South Florida wasn’t far behind.<\/p>\n

The highest-ranked South Florida school was Marine Academy of Science and Technology, or MAST@FIU, in North Miami. It came in at No. 2 in\u00a0the state and an impressive No. 31 nationally.<\/p>\n

Here’s how the rest of Florida’s top schools stacked up:<\/p>\n

1. Pine View School \u2014 Osprey, Sarasota County Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 13)
2. Marine Academy of Science and Technology (MAST@FIU) \u2014 North Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 31)
3. Neocity Academy \u2014 Kissimmee, Osceola Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 35)
4. Archimedean Upper Conservatory Charter School \u2014 Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 39)
5. West Shore Junior\/Senior High School \u2014 Melbourne, Brevard Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 47)
6. Jose Marti MAST 6-12 Academy \u2014 Hialeah, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 55)
7. Stanton College Preparatory School \u2014 Jacksonville, Duval County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 63)
8. Suncoast Community High School \u2014 Riviera Beach, School District of Palm Beach County (U.S. ranking: No. 81)
9. I Preparatory Academy \u2014 Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 86)
10. Terra Environmental Research Institute \u2014 Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools (U.S. ranking: No. 87)<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade’s showing is particularly notable because six of its schools cracked the national top 100, and magnet and charter schools dominate the county’s top 10.<\/p>\n

The rankings are based on a nationwide evaluation of high schools, meaning South Florida’s showing puts the region in some pretty elite company. For local families thinking about where their kids might spend the next four years, these schools are certainly worth having on the radar.<\/p>\n
