#1 School in Florida For The Highest Number of National Merit Scholars for the class of 2023

Our seniors have done it again with the Broward campus being the #1 school in Florida and #2 private school in the nation and the Palm Beach campus being #2 in Florida and #5 private school in the nation with the highest number of National Merit Scholars Semifinalists. The students from both campuses comprise 10% of all semifinalists throughout the 2,227 public and private high schools in Florida.

A combined total of 86 seniors were named National Merit Semifinalists out of the 16,000 semifinalists in the 67th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Additionally, 72 seniors received National Commended Scholar status. Furthermore, 88 seniors were recognized under the National Recognition Program, which recognized students who are African American, Hispanic, or Indigenous. 

In addition to the millions of dollars in possible scholarships, these bright students now have new opportunities for college and confidence about their futures. According to the National Merit Scholarship organization, colleges such as Harvard, Stanford, University of Chicago, and Vanderbilt enroll the greatest number of National Merit Scholars.
