The Best Middle Schools in Miami Springs

The top recommended middle school in Miami Springs is ISAAC: Integrated Science And Asian Culture Academy K-8. This is the same school included in our elementary school section. Miami Springs has a limited number of middle schools, and this is the only one we recommend in the Miami Springs area. However, we’ve included the Highly Inquisitive and Versatile (HIVE) Preparatory School K-8 and Jose Marti MAST Academy 6-12 in Hialeah.  

ISAAC K-8 and HIVE K-8 receive a 10/10 rating from greatschools.org, and Jose Marti MAST Academy 6-12 receives a 9/10. All of these schools have also received an “A” from the FDOE’s school accountability report.  

However, note that all of these schools are a part of Miami-Dade County’s public charter school system, so students have to apply and be selected to attend each of these schools. 

In terms of academic performance, all of these schools are great options. However, keep in mind that the testing data for these schools is either combined with their elementary or high school counterpart. Just as you read before, ISAAC K-8 scored an 83% proficiency in math, an 88% proficiency in English, and a 90% proficiency in science. Meanwhile, HIVE K-8 scored an 87% proficiency in math, an 81% proficiency in English, and an 83% proficiency in science, and Jose Marti MAST Academy 6-12 scored a 93% proficiency in math, a 90% proficiency in English, and a 70% proficiency in science. 

In terms of parent testimony, all of these schools have slightly mixed reviews, but the reviews tend to be more positive than not. 

But, one HIVE K-8 parent said, “My overall experience as a parent was excellent. My children graduated on to middle and high school socially & academically ready. They are continuously doing amazing. I'm a very pleased and happy parent. I would definitely choose Hive again.” 

And one ISAAC K-8 parent said, “Great Mandarin program, this is the reason our children are attending SoMi. Ms. Du is a wonderful asset to the school and the manner in which she exposes the children to the Chinese culture is marvelous.”
