School Notes:
  • Miami Sunset Senior High School is a secondary school of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools System located at 13125 SW 72nd Street in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, USA. Its principal is Lucia Cox.
  • Sunset opened its doors in 1977. Beginning in the late 1990s, Sunset became one of many overcrowded schools in the county, due to the population explosion in the metropolitan area.

  • Academics
  • Schools in Florida receive a grade based on the school's overall FCAT performance, the percentage of eligible students who took the test, and whether or not students made progress in reading and math. From 2008-2009, Sunset received a grade of B.
