Summary

Kensington Park Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 969 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miami-Dade district, a district that earns a 4-star rating.

Kensington Park presents a unique academic profile. While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20-30% of Florida elementary schools over the past five years, it shows a notable strength in mathematics. For example, in the most recent school year, 4th-grade math scores (60%) were higher than those at nearby Mater International Academy (44%) and Comstock Elementary School (58%). However, this math success does not extend to English Language Arts (ELA) or science, where scores lag significantly behind state averages. This "pocket of excellence" in math suggests a targeted instructional strength that could be a model for improvement in other subjects. The school also spends a high amount per student—$14,846—which is more than higher-performing neighbors like Shenandoah Elementary School ($11,830), creating a "high spend, low performance" paradox that raises questions about resource allocation.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has been a major challenge but is improving significantly, dropping from 31.7% to 24.8%, which is now below both the district and state averages. This is a strong indicator of improving school engagement. Additionally, the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has declined sharply from 65.51% to 52.84% in just two years, a faster rate of change than at most nearby schools. With a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9:1, the school has the resources for more individualized attention, yet this has not yet translated into broad academic gains, making it a school with clear potential and clear challenges.
