Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High School is a secondary school located at 1411 County Line Road in the Ives Estates area of Unincorporated north Miami-Dade County (Miami address), Florida, USA.

The school is located on the Miami-Dade side of the Miami-Dade-Broward County line and it is the northernmost high school in the district.
Krop is considered to be a magnet school because it has a "Students Training in the Arts Repertory (STAR)" program.

Due to the recession of 2008 and ongoing financial issues, the STAR program has had severe cuts in its funding.

The sun-comprehending glass,
And beyond it, the deep blue air, that shows
Nothing, and is nowhere, and is endless.”
