Miami Coral Park Senior High School is a secondary school, located at 8865 S.W. 16th Street in Miami, Florida, USA. The school was opened in 1963. It was the first school with A/C in south Florida. The principal is Dr. Nick JacAngelo. In the 2006-2007 school year, Coral Park scored a "C" on the FCAT. Coral Park has one of the best Engineering and Robotics academies including other subcategory.
For a brief period in the late 1980s up to the late 1990s (1998), the stretch of 16th street on which the school is located was renamed "Jose Canseco Street" after one of the school's most famous alumni. However, after Canseco gained notoriety due to several scandalous episodes, the street returned to its original designation as "Ram Road" when students signed a petition.
Coral Park's athletic rival is Southwest Miami High School.
During the summer of 1984, Coral Park's gym was used as the Angel Beach High gym in "Porky's Revenge", the third movie of the "Porky's" series.
