Several mis-statements:
The 2nd all black high school was George Washington Carver, not Miami Edison. Carver started as an elementary/middle school, then added grades thru 12th, then reverted back to a middle school. See the school history on the school's website.
Miami Edison opened as an all-white school, as was common in the 1930's. It became all black in the late 1960's / early 1970's after "integration". The original Edison later became a middle school. Still later, a new Edison High School was built. They are known as the Red Raiders.
Miami Jackson was not the 1st high school. It was a grade school when it opened, and became a high school sometime in the 1930's, well after Miami High started, probably after Miami Edison.
FYI - I grew up in Miami and graduated from MJHS in 1964. Older siblings graduated from MJHS in 1954, 55, 57 and 59.

What is the School Board's current annual budget? Somewhere in the range of $4 billion? -- BD2412 talk 14:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure, all the information i've gathered comes straight from the school board's website, and local news reports. I could try to find it, though. PRueda29 21:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Miami-Dade is in no way the only public school district in the country to offer bilingual education programs; I can cite my own local public schools as but one example of another district that offers full primary and secondary education in a bilingual Spanish-English program. For that reason, I have removed that statement. If there is a special program in Miami Dade that should be noted, by all means add it back into the article, but that program is certainly not unique. - Cuivienen 21:51, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
The article states: "Beginning in 1962, Dade County schools began to receive its first influx of Hispanic students, mainly from Cuba. This event was very significant in shaping the school system to what it is today." I was in 7th grade at the old Robert E. Lee Junior High School in 1958-59. The influx had already started, and accelerated in the next few years. 1962 may have been one of the early peaks, but by no means was it the beginning. Bgreenfl ( talk) 03:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
There are more magnet schools than the ones listed here unless you are only listing the purely magnet schools and not the shared magnet and public schools. Because I went to Miami Coral Park Senior High School, and I was definitely in a magnet program. Please refer to : http://choice.dadeschools.net/shs_listings.htm - Heartcoke 08:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Well, every High School in Dade has a magnet program; if you look on the list you provided, pretty much every high school in the district is listed there. The reason for these magnet programs is to attract students of certain demographic groups which are in low demand in the particular school. Thus, a school like Hialeah High School, that's 90% hispanic, will attract black, asian, and white students to its Aviation Magnet program, allowing these students to take core classes related to Aviation on their path to their careers in that field, while the local students just take regular open classes. Attracting the demographics which are low in numbers will then allow for Hialeah's overall population to contain more "minority" students than it would if it just took in students from the neighborhood, though technically, the program can end up attracting more hispanic students as well and backfire, but the point is to attract them all from other neighborhoods that have different demographics. The schools listed under the "Magnet" section are schools which do not serve the local neighborhood at all, but rather ONLY take in students for their magnet program, meaning everyone in the school will be a magnet student, and the school does not cater to students in the surrounding area. For example, students living around Coral Reef High School attend Braddock unless they apply and get into Coral Reef; sme goes for New World and MAST Academy, you must apply into those schools to attend, so they are considered traditional magnet schools, the rest of the high schools are just public high schools with magnet programs. -- SmthManly / ManlyTalk / ManlyContribs 16:46, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Makes sense, thanks! -- Heartcoke 05:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I wonder what Miami schools have higher percentages of Spanish speakers than others, but I found that some Miami schools actually publish their own Spanish-language school newspapers:
