Summary

Pine Villa Elementary School is a small public school in Miami, FL, serving 219 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Miami-Dade district, where over 83% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Pine Villa is a school of dramatic highs and lows, making it one of the most unique schools in the area. After years of low performance, it achieved a stunning turnaround in the 2024-2025 school year, jumping to the 84th percentile and outperforming the district and state in every subject. However, it has since dropped back to the 27th percentile, showing extreme volatility. This is in stark contrast to nearby Somerset Academy Silver Palms, which serves a similar high-poverty population but has been remarkably stable, ranking in the 83rd-86th percentile for years. Pine Villa also spends significantly more per student ($24,452) than any nearby school—nearly double the average of its neighbors—yet struggles with the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at 42.2%, compared to just 6.8% at Somerset Academy Silver Palms.

The school's most critical challenge is improving attendance. The data strongly suggests that when students show up, Pine Villa can achieve exceptional results, as seen in its best year. The dramatic drop in performance may also be due to a "cohort effect," where a particularly strong group of students moved on to middle school. For parents, Pine Villa represents a school with immense potential and resources, but one that is currently trapped in a cycle of high absenteeism and inconsistent results. Its success depends on creating a stable, consistent learning environment that can replicate the achievements of its best year.
