Summary

Dante B. Fascell Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 403 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miami-Dade district, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in math and science. In the most recent testing year, 89% of Fascell's 3rd graders were proficient in math, the highest rate among all nearby elementary schools and well above the district (72%) and state (66%) averages. The school has also shown a remarkable turnaround in English Language Arts (ELA), with 3rd-grade proficiency jumping from 48% in 2023-2024 to 81% in 2025-2026. Fifth-grade science scores are consistently strong, tying with Claude Pepper Elementary School for the highest among nearby schools in 2024-2025. Fascell invests heavily in its students, spending $18,420 per student—more than double the spending at the nearby top-performing Pinecrest Academy (South Campus)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.3.

While Fascell's academic results are impressive, chronic absenteeism is a notable concern at 21.6%, which is the highest among nearby elementary schools like Dr. Manuel C. Barreiro Elementary School (12.8%) and Pinecrest Academy (12.5%). The school's recent upward trend, including a strong rebound in state rankings after a dip in 2022-2023, signals effective improvements are underway. For parents seeking a school with a strong foundation in core elementary subjects, Fascell offers a compelling option, especially when compared to nearby K-8 centers like Jane S. Roberts K-8 Center and Kendall Square K-8 Center, which have lower 5th-grade math proficiency rates (53% each) despite excelling in advanced middle school courses.
