Standards and Curriculums

Middle School

Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) follow the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for science. Middle school science coursework in grades 6–8 is a connected series: Comprehensive Science (CS) 1, CS 2, and CS 3.

All three of these science classes touch on biology concepts. The 8th grade Statewide Science Assessment measures grade-level science proficiencies.

High School

Florida requires three science credits to graduate, including Biology and two additional science courses such as Chemistry, Physics, or Environmental Science. AP Biology is also available and may allow students to earn college credit or advanced placement, depending on the college or university they attend.

The Biology EOC Assessment, administered after taking Biology, is a mandatory exam. Although students don’t have to pass it to graduate, they do need to pass it as part of the requirements toward a Scholar Diploma (a distinction for high academic achievement.)

College

Students attending colleges and universities in Miami have access to top-rated marine biology programs, pre-med research opportunities, and biodiversity and conservation partnerships.

A student enrolled at the University of Miami, for example, can study coral reefs, and Florida International University offers students specialized biology degree tracks, such as Marine Biology and Biotechnology.

Test Scores

The Florida Statewide Science Assessment is given at the end of elementary school and again at the end of middle school, in grades 5 and 8. The Biology EOC Assessment is offered, but not required, after taking a high school biology class.

These assessments focus on Florida’s science standards and measure student performance. In 2025, 55% of all students who were assessed statewide scored at or above grade level.

Entrance Exams

M-DCPS Magnet And Choice Programs

M-DCPS operates more than 300 magnet and Choice programs across the district, including many STEM-related programs, such as MAST Academy and Cutler Bay Senior High.

Students submit applications to these magnet and Choice schools, which review factors such as grades, attendance, conduct, GPAs, and standardized test scores. Typically, if a student meets all eligibility requirements, their application goes into a lottery.

ACT

The science portion of the ACT asks questions about interpreting data, scientific investigation, and evaluating models, inferences, and experimental results.

Miami-area students can choose to take the ACT and add it to their college applications. For fall of 2025, the University of Miami reported that the middle 50% of admitted students who took the ACT scored between 30 and 34.

Programs and Resources

Biology University Programs

Students who want to study biology and are interested in biology-related careers have many college and university options right here in Miami. These include the University of Miami, Florida International University, Miami Dade College, and Barry University.

Schools have local partnerships available to students, such as the University of Miami’s partnership with Jackson Memorial Medical Center and the Florida International University’s National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates at Zoo Miami.

Biology Resources

The Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Downtown Miami offers K–12 summer camps and after-school activities, focusing on topics like marine biology and paleontology.

Additional local programs include the Deering Estate’s Junior Naturalist training, where students learn about ecosystems and canoeing, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex education programs, focused on hands-on science and technology.

Finding a Biology Tutor in Miami

What does a biology tutor do?

A biology tutor supports students studying this life sciences course, breaking down complex concepts such as cellular anatomy, genetics, ecology, and evolution. They can work with your student on coursework, research, and lab-related skills, as well as test preparation.

In the Miami-Dade County Public School system (M-DCPS), some biology tutors may be familiar with Florida's Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science (NGSSS) and its progression from general science to comprehensive science to biology.

How do I know if my student needs a biology tutor?

Your student may benefit from biology tutoring if they feel challenged by the concepts of heredity or reproduction, or if they feel unsure of their understanding of the diversity of living organisms. You might see your student avoid homework or seem frustrated when they approach it.

You may also hear from your student’s teacher that their unit test scores are trending downward. Any of these signs might indicate that your student could benefit from working with a Miami-based biology tutor familiar with Florida science standards and local coursework expectations.

What subjects can a Miami biology tutor support?

A biology tutor in Miami can support a high school biology class, but some may also provide guidance for the classes that teach the science fundamentals leading to biology.

Whether your student is in 1st grade learning about plants and animals, 7th grade studying species adaptation, or 10th grade focusing on biochemical cycles, a biology tutor can provide personalized support as they work toward their goals.

How do I find a biology tutor near me?

Once your student is on board with the idea of tutoring, ask their teacher specifically where support would be the most beneficial. At that point, Grade Potential can match you with an independent tutor from our network who’s familiar with supporting students at the biology level of your student.

How much does a biology tutor cost in Miami?

Biology tutors in Miami may charge between $30 and $90 per hour, depending on a few factors: your student’s grade and science level, the tutor’s specific experience, how much time is allotted for each session, and where your student and their tutor meet.

Tutors in the Grade Potential network are vetted for subject expertise and communication skills, and families can choose to have sessions in-home, online, or at another location convenient for them.

Can a biology tutor support homework and exam preparation?

Yes. When a tutor sits with a student while they complete assignments, they’re better able to determine exactly where that student needs the most support.

For instance, a student might be doing an assignment mapping the inputs and outputs of cellular respiration. A tutor can observe their process, note the moment they seem lost, and instantly work with them to solidify their understanding of the concept.

Additionally, a biology tutor can support students as they prepare for a unit test, study for the AP science exam, and review for the Biology End-of-Course (EOC) Assessment.

Can a biology tutor support standardized test preparation?

Yes, many Miami biology tutors may support students as they prepare for the Statewide Science Assessment (SSA), the standardized science test in Florida.

Tutors familiar with the SSA often know the concepts most likely to be on the test. This means they may be able to support your student as they take practice tests and review these specific concepts.

What are the benefits of biology tutoring for middle school students in Miami?

Because middle school science builds the foundation for high school biology, students may benefit from working with a tutor who can provide support as new topics are introduced.

M-DCPS middle schoolers take a trio of science courses: Comprehensive Science (CS) 1, CS 2, and CS 3. The units are progressive, and a tutor can support your student along the way. This is great preparation for high school biology classes, but it’s especially beneficial if your student wants to go to a STEM-based magnet high school.

What are the benefits of biology tutoring for high school students in Miami?

All M-DCPS high school students need to take a biology course to graduate. Whether your high schooler is only taking that class or has also added an AP Biology class, a tutor can support their understanding of core concepts, such as the scientific method and different biological systems.

What are the benefits of biology tutoring for college students in Miami?

Biology tutors offer support to college students taking prerequisite courses like Principles of Biology and courses that are more advanced, like Molecular Biology. If a college course load feels overwhelming, a tutor can help break it down into manageable pieces.

What’s the best way to prepare for the WCAS exam?

One effective way to prepare for the Statewide Science Assessment, taken at the end of 5th and 8th grade, is by taking practice tests. A biology tutor can support your student as they study for these tests, take them, assess them, and do the process all over again.

High school students who choose to take the Biology EOC Assessment often benefit from a tutor reviewing key biology concepts with them.
