How many public high schools are in Florida?
This count covers public and charter records classified at the high level. It does not combine other grade configurations or separately grouped private-school records.
How this Florida high-school count is built.
The count uses K12 Atlas school profiles aligned to the 2024 NCES Common Core of Data. A record appears here when its reported school-level classification is High. Schools with combined, ungraded, prekindergarten, secondary, or unreported configurations appear in the state’s other-level directory.
Miami accounts for 128 listings, or 8.8% of this directory count. That describes record distribution only; K12 Atlas does not rank school quality.

Where Florida high schools appear in the directory.
The 892 records are distributed across 71 reported districts and 281 cities. That statewide coverage matters because a single total does not show whether listings are concentrated in a few large systems or spread across many local school organizations.
Miami-dade is the largest district group on this page by high-school record count, with 130 listings, or 8.9% of the statewide total. The five most represented districts account for 342 records (23.5%), while 9 districts contribute one record each.
At the city level, Miami has 128 listings. The five most represented cities together account for 329 records (22.6%), and 123 cities have one listing in this level-specific directory. These are record counts, not school rankings or quality judgments.

This breakdown keeps sector labels separate from school level. Private-school records without a comparable CCD level are listed under the state’s other-level directory, so they are not silently added to this high-school answer.
