The Miami-Dade County school district is eyeing more than two dozen schools to examine for potential closure.
A document released Tuesday by the Attendance Boundary Committee named 12 schools that are being “reassessed” and 15 that are “under review.”
According to the committee, schools labeled “reassessed” means “a decision has been made to align with the district’s long-term strategic goals and capital plan.”
Schools “under review” are planned to be examined to decide if “continuing operations best serve the educational, operational, and financial interests of the district and its students.”

Neither of the definitions posed by the committee for the labels mention closures, but with the Miami-Dade School Board recently voting to close or consolidate nine schools, it seems the list could foreshadow such a move.
The latest enrollment numbers in Miami-Dade County Public Schools show there are 18,910 fewer students now compared to the end of the 2025-26 school year.
Fewer students means fewer state funding, impacting academic programming and its budget to fund staff salaries.
School district officials did not immediately respond for comment when contacted by WLRN.
