History
Miami Lakes Educational Center was established in 1998.
Magnet Academies
MLEC has 26 different strands spread among five magnet academies. Although the school is not recognized as a magnet program by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, as it does not receive specialized magnet funding, the school retains the ability to require students to complete an application form, and may admit students from areas outside of traditional school boundaries. Each magnet academy at MLEC has a distinct uniform. The Cambridge Academy is run by Cambridge International Examinations, and includes mandatory AICE and AP classes.[3] A sixth academy, Trade and Industry, was active before having its strands transferred to the Entrepreneurship Academy,[4] until it became its own individual academy once again.
MLEC is a magnet high school, which requires students to be accepted in order to attend. Upon graduation, a student can receive both a high school diploma and a certificate of completion from the vocational training program.[5]
Miami Lakes Educational Center has consistently maintained an "A" grad.
