About Us

West Miami Middle Community School is located east of the Palmetto Expressway and is situated in the midst of a thriving and culturally diverse Hispanic community. The school is located on nine acres in South Central Miami-Dade County at 7525 Southwest 24th Street, Miami, Florida 33155. The campus opened in 1954, and in 2000 a new wing which includes state of the art science laboratories and extra classrooms was erected. We enjoy a long history of serving the community as a revered educational institution. A collegial, collaborative leadership team addresses the needs of student sub-groups through the team concept for middle schools. The focus has been expanded to incorporate incentive programs that recognize and motivate academic and behavioral success. The school offers its students a variety of academic programs including enrichment and or remediation options addressing individual student needs.
