The School for Advanced Studies and New World School of the Arts, both on Miami Dade College’s Wolfson campus in downtown Miami, are the most dangerous schools in Florida when taking into account vehicle crash data, according to a new study.
The company, 1Point21Interactive, analyzing data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, found this particular zone in downtown Miami had 2,296 crashes in 2016 within 500 feet of the school building — the highest in all of Florida.
The firm’s interactive map also ranked the nearby Law Enforcement Officers’ Memorial High School, three blocks away in downtown Miami, just behind with 2,134 crashes.
Miami ranks No. 1 for most dangerous school zones in Florida, the San Diego-based firm found.
Mater Academy in Hialeah, Mater Academy East Charter in Miami, Westland Hialeah Senior High School, and the following Miami schools — Frederick R. Douglass Elementary, Ada Merritt K-8 Center, Mater Academy Charter, Phillis Wheatley Elementary School and Booker T. Washington Elementary School — all ranked in the state’s top 10 with more than 1,500 crashes apiece in 2016.
Schools in Tallahassee, Tampa and St. Petersburg had considerably fewer crashes near its schools. Atwater Elementary in Sarasota, for example, had eight crashes within 500 feet of its doors in 2016.
“The purpose behind this interactive map is to educate parents and children about the importance of practicing safe driving and walking in school zones and create awareness about the high-risk areas throughout Florida,” data visualization analyst Andrea Rodriguez of 1Point21Interactive wrote in an email to the Miami Herald.

The Jerusalem Vote And The US-Israel Link

Dear Friend, On the 12th of this month, the High Court of Kerala passed an order against the Kerala State Child Rights Commission as well as an individual student. The facts of this case revolves around a purported public display of action by two 12th standard students of the St. Thomas Central School Trivandrum. During the School Arts Festival which took place on 21st July, 2017, a Class 12 student hugged his female friend after her performance. A complaint was filed thereupon by the class teacher, and the students were barred from attending classes for the next few days. The charge? Hugging One hopes that the overwhelming rejection of the Trump Administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on the 21st of December 2017 will compel Washington DC to rescind its decision. Given Trump’s track record so far —- on the Climate Change Accord and UNESCO —it is very unlikely. The most we can expect him to do is to delay a littl...
