Leal. Coral Reef is locally known as "Miami's Mega Magnet School" since it offers six different magnet programs. According to Newsweek's List of the 1,000 Top U.S. Schools (2006), the school is ranked at 29th in the nation, making it 7th in the state of Florida. The previous year, it had ranked 13th. This ranking is based on a ratio devised by Jay Mathews, which takes the number of Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests taken by all students at a school in 2005 and divides it by the number of graduating seniors.

The school does not serve the surrounding neighborhoods, but instead takes applications from middle school students all over the county. Selection is done via a lottery system for all magnet programs except for Visual & Performing Arts, for which acceptance is based ability; students must audition for this program. Students living around the Coral Reef area attend Miami Palmetto Senior High School or Miami Killian Senior High School . Coral Reef does take in students from Southwood Middle School's magnet music program, though students who attend Southwood and are not part of the music magnet program must continue onto Miami Southridge High School or Miami Palmetto Senior High School.

Coral Reef has set the standard amongst other schools in the county as being the only school to receive an "A" grade for its performance on the FCAT examination every year that schools have been graded. Due to this, the school receives higher funding than most other schools in the district.

Coral Reef has three publications: the newspaper, Baitline, their yearbook, Tsunami, and the school's literary magazine, Elysium. The newspaper is published monthly while the yearbook and literary magazine are both published annually. The daily morning newscast, CRTV Live, airs on closed-circuit channel 21.

Coral Reef has six different magnets: International Baccalaureate, Leisure Medicine & Health Science, Business & Finance, Legal & Public Affairs, Agriscience & Engineering Technology, and Visual & Performing Arts.
