As of September 2011, the school grounds are being operated jointly by Ronald W. Reagan/Doral Senior High School and John I. Smith Elementary School (JIS) in order to alleviate the former's overcrowding issues (which resulted in a potential lawsuit) and begin the latter's conversion into a Kindergarten-Eighth Grade Center. Seventh and Eighth grade students at the school have been absorbed by John I. Smith and Reagan/Doral is utilizing the campus as an annex for its Ninth grade students. Faculty and staff formerly employed to work at Doral Middle School have been liquidated, replaced by staff from the aforementioned schools for the time being
