After the 2010 Haiti earthquake the district leadership anticipated that there would be thousands of survivors arriving , that most students arriving would be poor , and that most high school-aged students would be going to Miami Edison High School . The district planned to establish housing for refugees at a Baptist hospital in Homestead . By January 2011 , there were 1,403 survivors from that earthquake enrolled at MCDPS , which was below the predicted number , and most of them were in the middle and upper classes . The hospital was never needed . The largest number of high school-aged students , 88 , enrolled at North Miami High School . 51 enrolled at Felix Varela High School , and only six enrolled at Miami Edison . MDCPS had the highest number of 2010 Haiti earthquake survivors of any U.S. school district
