Summary
Hive Preparatory School in Hialeah, FL, is a K-8 school serving 854 students within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 6% of elementary schools statewide, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for seven of the last ten years.
What truly sets Hive apart is its exceptional academic performance, especially in middle school. In the 2025-2026 school year, Hive achieved a remarkable 100% proficiency rate in Geometry and Biology 1 End-of-Course (EOC) exams, and a 97% proficiency rate in Algebra 1 EOCs. This dramatically outperforms the district averages (60%, 75%, and 69%, respectively) and even surpasses nearby high-performing schools like Miami Lakes K-8 Center, which scored 77% in Geometry and 67% in Algebra 1. Hive also excels across all grades and subjects, consistently exceeding district averages in every tested area. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary and Carol City Elementary, which rank in the bottom 26th and 9th percentiles, respectively. Furthermore, Hive achieves these elite results with remarkable spending efficiency—$12,626 per student—compared to lower-performing neighbors like North Glade Elementary ($15,203) and Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary ($16,330).
While Hive is a top-tier school, there are a few areas to watch. A notable anomaly is a dip in 4th-grade math proficiency, which dropped to 66% in 2025-2026, below the district average of 71%. Additionally, chronic absenteeism has more than tripled from 7.0% in 2019-2020 to 23.5% in 2023-2024, though it remains better than the district average of 28.2%. For families considering options across district lines, Somerset Academy Miramar South in Broward County ranks #1 in the state with near-perfect proficiency rates, offering an even higher level of competition. Overall, Hive Preparatory School is a standout choice for families seeking a consistently high-performing, resource-efficient school that excels in accelerating student achievement.
