D.  \nApril 2026  \nSUMMARY OF 2024-2025 GRADUATES BY DIPLOMA  \nAt a Glance  \nMiami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) had 23,831 graduates in the 2024- 2025 academic year. Ninety two percent of students achieved a standard diploma (24 credits) . Some students chose an international curriculum pathway, where 1,040 (4%) achieved an Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) diploma and 494 (2%) achieved an International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. An additional 343 ( 1%) students earned an Academically Challenging Curriculum to Enhance Learning (ACCEL) 18-credit diploma.  \nOver 9,000 (38%) of graduates earned the Superintendent’s Diploma of Distinction for outstanding academics and community service. State Industry Scholar Diploma Designations were awarded to 6,523 (27%) graduates demonstrating academic strength and/or success in attaining career industry certifications. This year 4,696 (20%) students also earned the Florida Seal of Biliteracy, in Gold or Silver, demonstrating mastery of a foreign language.  \nDIPLOMA OPTIONS  \nIn order to graduate from high school, students must successfully complete one of the following diploma options: (1) Standard diploma program with 24 credits; (2) Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) curriculum; (3) International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum; or (4) Academically Challenging Curriculum to Enhance Learning (ACCEL) 18-credit option. Students also had the option of choosing a Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathway. However, no CTE diplomas were awarded in 2024- 2025. This report will focus on the diploma types utilized in M-DCPS during the 2024- 2025 academic year. In addition to one of these diploma types, students can earn additional designations provided at the District and State levels to highlight academic achievement, community service, or biliteracy. These additional designations include the Superintendent’s Diploma of Distinction, Scholar and Merit designations, and the Florida Seal of Biliteracy. Earning one of these diplomas allows students to become college or career ready and be competitive upon graduation in applying to post-secondary education or joining the workforce.  \nPlease note that the data presented on the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 academic year graduates are based on the cohort of students who entered 9th grade in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 academic years respectively, which was used to determine the Florida Department of Education 4-year graduation rate.  \nStandard Diploma  \nBelow are the requirements for a standard diploma for students entering 9th grade prior to the 2024-25 school year:  \n• Successfully complete 24 credits, an AICE curriculum , an IB curriculum , or the 18-credit ACCEL option  \no Credits can be obtained through equivalent, applied, or integrated courses or career education courses as defined in the Florida Statute , including approved internships.  \no The required credits include four in English Language Arts (ELA), four in mathematics, three in science, three in social studies, one in fine and performing arts, speech and debate, or practical arts, one in physical education, and eight electives.
