Summary

Pine Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 356 students in grades PK-5. 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 spending more per student than the district average, Pine Lake Elementary faces several challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with proficiency rates in 3rd-5th grade English Language Arts and Math 10-20 percentage points below the district and state. Pine Lake Elementary also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.19% to 88.54% over the past few years, much higher than the district average.

When comparing Pine Lake Elementary to nearby schools in the same district, some interesting patterns emerge. Caribbean K-8 Center and Gloria Floyd Elementary have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Pine Lake Elementary. Additionally, Frank Crawford Martin K-8 Center and Academir Charter School Preparatory, which are both magnet/charter schools, have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Pine Lake Elementary. These comparisons suggest that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student engagement, may be contributing to Pine Lake Elementary's underperformance.
