Summary

Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy is a public elementary and middle school located in Miami, Florida, serving 822 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy generally performs above the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in most subject areas and grade levels, particularly in math. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 81% of 3rd graders proficient in FAST Math compared to 69% in Miami-Dade and 63% statewide. However, the school lags behind in some areas, such as 8th grade FAST Math, where only 41% of students were proficient compared to 60% in Miami-Dade and 57% statewide. The school also faces a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 19.9% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Nearby schools like Ethel Koger Beckham K-8 Center, Dante B. Fascell Elementary, and Pinecrest Academy (South Campus) generally outperform Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy on test scores, with higher proficiency rates in both ELA and math. These schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch, suggesting they serve a more advantaged student population. While Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy excels in certain subject areas, such as Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1 End-of-Course exams, the school's struggles in 8th grade math and the sharp increase in chronic absenteeism are significant concerns that warrant further attention and intervention.
