Summary

Village Green Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 255 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.

Village Green Elementary consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 94% of 4th-grade students were proficient or better in FAST/Math, compared to 68% in Miami-Dade and 62% statewide. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates have also been particularly strong, ranging from 62% to 83% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, Village Green has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to surrounding schools, ranging from 16.2% to 31.4% in recent years.

The school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.22% to 72.89% in the past few years. Despite these socioeconomic challenges, Village Green Elementary has maintained a strong academic performance, consistently ranking in the top half of Florida elementary schools and earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger in several recent school years. The school's higher per-student spending compared to the district and state averages, ranging from $15,836 to $18,654, may contribute to its success, but addressing the factors behind the high chronic absenteeism rates could be an important focus for the school moving forward.
