If your student attends high school in Homestead, Florida, they take the same statewide End-of-Course (EOC) assessments as every public-school student in the state. Homestead is part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) — Florida runs schools by county, so there is no separate “Homestead school district.” Here's what families in Homestead need to know, plus free practice.

High schools serving Homestead

The two comprehensive public high schools in the Homestead area are Homestead Senior High School and South Dade Senior High School, both part of Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Students at magnet and charter options in the area take the same state EOCs as well. Wherever your student attends, the EOC subjects and passing standard are identical statewide.

Which EOCs Homestead students take

Florida gives EOCs in four courses:

  • Algebra 1 (B.E.S.T. standards) — a graduation requirement
  • Geometry (B.E.S.T. standards)
  • Biology 1 (NGSSS)
  • U.S. History (NGSSS)

How it's scored

EOCs use a 1–5 Achievement Level scale, and Level 3 (“On Grade Level”) or higher passes — the same standard everywhere in Florida, with no separate Miami-Dade or Homestead cutoff. For Geometry, Biology 1, and U.S. History, the EOC counts as 30% of the final course grade.

When are the tests?

Florida gives EOCs in Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer windows; your student's school sets the exact date — confirm with their counselor. See the 2026–2027 EOC testing dates →
