Part of the Miami-Dade County Public School System, it receives both area students magnet students who wish to come for its 3-year International Baccalaurate (IB) program and its International Studies (IS) programs. The school also offers a full-time gifted program.

The school, under direction of former principal JoAnne Gans, received an A from the State of Florida in proportion to its overall F-CAT scores. It held this grade until recently when new F-CAT scores dropped the rating to a B. The current (2006) principal is Anna Rodriguez.
