While Ojus Elementary School has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,551 to $10,985 over the past few years, its performance lags behind some of the nearby schools. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 23.7% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Ojus Elementary School's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with the 5th-grade science proficiency rate at 41% in 2024-2025, compared to 56% for the district and 55% for the state.

Comparing Ojus Elementary School to nearby schools, such as Aventura Waterways K-8 Center and Norman S. Edelcup/Sunny Isles Beach K-8, which have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, as well as Aventura City Of Excellence School, a public charter school that consistently outperforms Ojus Elementary and the other nearby schools, provides valuable insights into the factors that may be contributing to the challenges faced by Ojus Elementary School.

I think the teachers try hard and parents are involved Close Quote

My child is attending this school and has had the worst experience of his life. Not only does he have tons of time-consuming homework, but the teachers are the opposite of motivational and says that they are not going to make it to middle school and that they are going to fail. To top; it off, the principal literally runs on reading. Why? I have no idea. But i strongly recommend your child not to go to this school unless they want their childhood as prison. Close Quote
