  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Miami-Dade 
County Public Schools (M-DCPS).
  According to the National Center for Education Statistics, Miami-Dade 
County Public Schools has recently reached a historic milestone. The 
district has risen from fourth to the third largest school district in 
the nation with a total of 319,612 students. With the enrollment of the 
2022-2023 school year, Miami-Dade was able to surpass Chicago Public 
Schools with nearly 5,000 students.
  The students, faculty, and staff of M-DCPS continue to succeed on 
multiple levels as the district has maintained an A-rating for the past 
3 years.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in honoring Miami-Dade County Public 
Schools as the third largest school district in the Nation.
