Summary

Devon Aire K-8 Center in Miami, FL, is a public school serving 818 students from Pre-K through 8th grade within the Miami-Dade district, offering a consistent, above-average education in a neighborhood with both elite and struggling school options.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional performance in advanced middle school courses, with a remarkable 97% proficiency rate in both Geometry and Biology 1, and 91% in Algebra 1—far exceeding district and state averages. This makes it a strong choice for families seeking a K-8 pathway that prepares students for high school-level work. However, a notable and persistent weakness is 7th grade math, where only 46% of students are proficient, significantly below the district (58%) and state (53%) averages. This "7th grade math slump" has been a consistent challenge for several years, contrasting sharply with the school's otherwise strong math scores in other grades, such as 83% in 3rd grade and 81% in 4th grade.

Compared to nearby schools, Devon Aire sits in a "sweet spot." It is not as elite as top-performing neighbors like Calusa Elementary School (98th percentile) or Somerset Academy Kendall (100th percentile), but it offers a reliable, well-rounded education without the intense pressure of those schools. Conversely, it is a much stronger option than Bridgeprep Academy Charter, which ranks in the 6th percentile. The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9%, well below the district average of 28.2%, indicating a supportive and engaging environment. For parents, Devon Aire represents a solid, dependable choice that provides the convenience of a K-8 experience and excels in preparing middle schoolers for advanced coursework, despite a clear area for improvement in 7th grade math.
