Summary

Earlington Heights Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Miami, Florida, with 364 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's magnet status, higher spending per student, and lower student-teacher ratio, Earlington Heights faces significant challenges. The school has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 40.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 64%, compared to 60% for the district and 57% for the state. Earlington Heights also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.82% to 92.91% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Earlington Heights performs similarly to or slightly better than other nearby schools in the district, such as Agenoria S Paschal/Olinda Elementary, Mater International Academy, and Lorah Park Elementary. However, all of these schools struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. Despite the school's higher spending and lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into meaningful academic improvements, suggesting that addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance will likely require a comprehensive, long-term approach.
