Welcome to Pinecrest’s Public Schools
Pinecrest’s strong property values are supported by the
excellence of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools located in our Village and
are the very foundation of our family-friendly community. I encourage our residents with school-age
children to take a close look at our neighborhood public schools as you
evaluate your many fine educational options.
I did, and I found Pinecrest’s public schools were the best choice for
my own children’s education. They truly
offer excellence in our own backyard.
In Pinecrest, our five Miami-Dade County Public Schools (three
elementary schools, a middle school and a high school) are traditional neighborhood
public schools. Children go to school
with their friends and neighbors. Close
proximity facilitates play-dates, projects and participation in after school
clubs and sports that are just a short drive or walk away. While our schools are known for their strong
gifted programs and extensive advanced placement courses, there are appropriate
academic options of varying rigor, depth and variety at every level, including
special needs, so all students can develop to their full potential.
What’s more, there is continuity of curriculum from elementary
through high school. This is
particularly useful in foreign languages and STEM/STEAM, where students can
start early in an area of interest and follow it through graduation. At the same time, they are not restricted to
the rigid curriculum constraints of magnet schools. Our students are free to explore a myriad of
electives including performing and visual arts, music,
business/entrepreneurship, computer, environmental and other sciences, new and
traditional media and more. A full range
of clubs, honor societies and teams complement classroom subjects so children
can follow their passions, or find new ones as interest evolve.
Village students regularly compete in – and win – academic, arts
and sports competitions locally and nationally starting in the elementary schools. Field trip opportunities abound, including
international experiences.
Palmetto Senior High School’s stellar college placements and
storied alumni provide proof positive that Pinecrest’s public schools are an
outstanding choice.
Sincerely,
Joseph M. Corradino
Mayor, Village of Pinecrest
