$1,073,368,000 in teacher salaries in fiscal year 2022-23, $3,213 per student

Miami-Dade County Public Schools booked $1,073,368,000 of teacher salaries in its 2022-23 finance report and counted 16,606 full-time teachers in its Common Core of Data district staff file for 2022-23 (the school files behind the staffing figures on this page count teachers separately, so the two can differ), or $64,637 of salary spending per teacher. That is more than 82 in 100 Florida districts with a figure (state median $58,157, 66 districts). It is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, so the result can differ widely from the average salary the district publishes (its salary schedule gives pay); benefits are left out, and states book salaries differently, so compare districts within one state. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Florida teacher salary at $51,230 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).

State test results, 2021-22

In 2021-22, the students tested in Miami-Dade County Public Schools scored proficient or above: 57% in reading and 58% in math, against 53% in reading and 55% in math across Florida. Each state writes its own test and sets its own proficiency bar, so compare these within Florida, not across states.

Graduation rate, class of 2023

90% of the 23,623 students in Miami-Dade County Public Schools' class of 2023 graduated within four years, against 88% across Florida.

How many children in Miami-Dade County Public Schools live in poverty?
The Census Bureau estimates that 64,456 of the 408,605 children aged 5 to 17 living within the district's boundaries in 2024, 15.8%, were in families in poverty (Small Area Income and Poverty Estimates). It is a model-based estimate for everyone living in the district, not a count of its students; the free-meal shares in the school tables are counts of enrolled students.
How much does Miami-Dade County Public Schools spend on teacher salaries?
$1,073,368,000 in fiscal year 2022-23 (NCES F-33), or $3,213 per student.

That is spending, not what a teacher is paid: the salary lines and the teacher count come from different files, and the result can differ widely from the average salary a district publishes. The district's salary schedule gives pay. For pay, the National Education Association put the average Florida teacher salary at $51,230 in 2021-22 (NCES Digest table 211.60).
