Summary

Coral Gables Preparatory Academy is a public PK-8 school in Coral Gables, FL, serving 812 students within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it stands out for its exceptional middle school performance and remarkably low chronic absenteeism.

This school is a strong, consistent performer, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade and ranking in the top 20% of all Florida elementary schools. Its biggest strength is its middle school program, where 8th-grade math proficiency (90%) and science proficiency (81%) dramatically exceed district and state averages. The school also achieves near-perfect scores on end-of-course exams, with 100% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 96% in Civics. Unlike many schools where math skills dip in middle school, CGPA sees math proficiency rise from 73% in 5th grade to 90% in 8th grade. The school also boasts a chronic absenteeism rate of just 10.5%, which is less than half the district rate and one-third of the state rate, indicating high student and family engagement.

CGPA is part of a highly competitive "Coral Gables" academic cluster, surrounded by two other exceptional schools: George W. Carver Elementary School (ranked #13 in the state) and Somerset Gables Academy (ranked #188). While Carver achieves near-perfect elementary scores, it only serves grades PK-5, meaning its students must transition to a new middle school. CGPA’s PK-8 structure offers a "one-stop-shop" option with a strong middle school program, making it a compelling choice for families seeking continuity. The school is also highly efficient, spending $12,565 per student—less than nearby schools like Auburndale Elementary School ($16,344) and Silver Bluff Elementary School ($14,854)—while achieving far better outcomes.
