Miami Lakes Educational Center (MLEC) is part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools system. It is one of only three area vocational-technical training centers. It is the only dual-delivery school in Miami-Dade County, providing adult vocational training in conjunction with a full-service high school. This allows the high school students to attend regular academic classes and technical or vocational training programs during the same school day on the same school campus. Upon graduation, high school students can receive both a high school diploma and a certificate of completion from the vocational training program in which they participate. Each Magnet Academy at MLEC has different strands. Miami Lakes Educational Center is 81% Hispanic, 13% Black, 5% White non-Hispanic, and 1% Asian.
