For families when looking for new horizons, the main motivation, in addition to improving the quality of life, are children and their future. Choosing the school for children in Miami is thinking about the future and talking about education. That is why the location of the school becomes the key decision factor in the choice of the place to live.
The public school system is managed locally by each county: Miami Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, etc. Each city has all levels of school education, ranging from Pre-K to 12th grade, which are classified as follows:
All schools are framed according to the School District assigned to each residential zone. This means that children are assigned by the district to the specific school that corresponds to them by the demarcation of the area and the place where they reside. This only applies to public schools. Private companies are not governed by the zone demarcation system.
However, the quality of education and facilities in public schools are first class, and even have greater resources than private schools themselves. They also truly represent an economic advantage and one less problem to solve within the family budget.
Everyone wants access to the best schools. The top-ranked school districts are also generally the ones with the best appreciation of home prices, which provides some investment guarantee. Properties located within the most desirable school districts are always in high demand from growing families and good purchasing power.
Charter Schools and Magnet Schools
They are still public schools with the difference that the Charter are founded by private organizations and are detached from certain regulations that cover the rest of the schools.
Magnet schools seek to create a school community like Charter schools, open to receiving children beyond the assigned School District in the area. The “magnet” schools seek to attract children with good school performance, although many times entering, is more a matter of luck, since due to their high demand they are forced to have a lottery every year with the available places.
Another option that may be strange for us as Latinos is Homeschooling, that is, educating our children at home, following a regulation and online platform, is more common than we might think.
