Summary

Henry M. Flagler Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 792 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade school district, with 66% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Flagler Elementary currently holds a 2-star rating and ranks in the 35th percentile statewide, which is significantly below many nearby schools. For example, Somerset Gables Academy (92nd percentile), Seminole Elementary School (90th percentile), and Coral Gables Preparatory Academy (82nd percentile) are all within a 2.5-mile radius and achieve dramatically higher results. The school has struggled most in English Language Arts (ELA), with only 45% of 3rd graders proficient compared to 64% in the district and 60% statewide. Math is a relative strength, with 58% of 3rd graders proficient, though this still trails the district average of 72%. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with a rate of 19.4% that is nearly double that of high-performing neighbors like Coral Gables Prep (10.5%) and Somerset Gables Academy (11.3%).

There is a glimmer of hope in recent data: after declining from a high of the 59th percentile in 2019 to a low of the 24th percentile in 2024, the school has ticked up slightly to the 35th percentile for 2025-2026. This suggests recent interventions may be starting to work. However, the school still has a long way to go to match the performance of top nearby schools. Spending per student ($12,243) is not the issue, as it is comparable to or less than many peers, indicating the challenges are more likely related to instructional quality and student support systems. For parents considering this school, it is important to know that while Flagler is trending upward, it remains a mid-to-low performing school in a corridor with many excellent options.

What people are saying

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Stay away from this school if you can. The administration does not listen and/or respects parent and teacher do what they like.

The second grade teacher Miss Oliva is horrible and can not handle a parent questions honestly. The only respond after a question/request is retaliation against your kid.

There are no words to describe how sad it is to encounter administration like the one in Henry M Flagler where personalities instead of syllabus run the school Close Quote

i spend the best years of my school years in HMF and the teachers are great they do there best and try there best to make a good and safe invirment for the student could learn. the principle of the school is also always trying to help out the students teachers to have the materials they need to teach there students. and take this from a former student.
