- Coral Reef Senior High School is a secondary school located at 10101 S.W. 152nd Street in Miami, Florida; its principal is currently Mrs. Adrianne F. Leal. Coral Reef is locally known as "Miami's Mega Magnet School" since it offers six different magnet programs.
- According to Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools (2008), the school is ranked at 19th in the nation, making it 4th in the state of Florida. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, it had ranked 22nd, 29th and 13th, respectively. This ranking is based on a ratio devised by Jay Mathews, which takes the number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students at a school in that school year and divides it by the number of graduating seniors.
- The school does not primarily serve the surrounding neighborhoods, but instead takes applications from middle school students all over the county. Selection is done via a lottery system for all magnet programs except for Visual & Performing Arts, for which acceptance is based on ability; students must audition for this program. Most students living around the Coral Reef area attend Miami Palmetto Senior High School or Miami Killian Senior High School.
- Coral Reef had set the standard amongst other schools in Miami-Dade County as being the only school to receive an "A" grade for its performance on the FCAT examination for the first nine years of its existence. Due to this, the school receives higher funding than most other schools in the district. However, the streak ended when Coral Reef received a "B" for the 2006-2007 school year. Coral Reef regained its grade of "A" during the 2007-2008 school year and retained it in the 2008-2009 school year .
- Coral Reef has three publications: the newspaper, Baitline, their yearbook, Tsunami, and the school's literary magazine, Elysium. The newspaper is published monthly while the yearbook and literary magazine are both published annually. The daily morning newscast, CRTV Live (originally known as Cudavision, and later adapted to include the channel number as Cudavision 21), airs on closed-circuit channel 21.
- Coral Reef has six different magnets: International Baccalaureate, Leisure Medicine & Health Science, Business & Finance, Legal & Public Affairs, Agriscience & Engineering Technology, and Visual & Performing Arts.
- Athletics
-
The school has attained three state championship titles. This feat was accomplished consecutively by the boy's Bowling Team in the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 school years.The dance team, the Cudettes, have been national champions for two years in a row.The boys' varsity basketball team won the state championship in the 2008-2009 season.

Coral Reef is 35% Hispanic, 24% White non-Hispanic, 36% Black and 5% Asian.
