C. G. Bethel High School

Summary:

C. G. Bethel High School is a public charter high school in North Miami Beach, Florida, serving 348 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, C. G. Bethel High School consistently ranks in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor academic performance. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests are significantly below state and district averages, with only 0% of students proficient in Algebra 1, 2% in Geometry, 13% in Biology 1, and 5% in 10th grade English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 55%, 53%, 67%, and 53%, respectively. Additionally, the school has had extremely low four-year graduation rates, ranging from 17.5% to 37.9% over the past several years, compared to the state average of over 90%, and very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 88.5% to 96.9% in recent years.

When comparing C. G. Bethel High School to nearby high-performing schools, such as Iprep Academy North and Mast@fiu, the academic performance gap is stark. These schools have significantly higher proficiency rates, higher ratings from SchoolDigger, and much higher graduation rates, suggesting that C. G. Bethel High School may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly African American (52.87%) and Hispanic (37.64%) student population.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
