Summary

Dr. Henry E. Perrine Academy Of The Arts is a public magnet elementary school serving grades K-5 in Palmetto Bay, Florida, with a total enrollment of 535 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dr. Henry E. Perrine Academy Of The Arts consistently performs above the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in various standardized tests, including FAST (English Language Arts and Math) and Statewide Science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 81% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in FAST English Language Arts, compared to 60% in Miami-Dade and 56% statewide. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.0% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, an issue the school should address.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Cutler Ridge Elementary, Frank Crawford Martin K-8 Center, and Miami Heights Elementary, Dr. Henry E. Perrine Academy Of The Arts stands out as a high-performing school. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting there is room for improvement to reach the top tier of Florida elementary schools. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is an important context to consider when interpreting the school's performance.
