Summary

Auburndale Elementary School is a public PK-5 school in Miami, FL, serving 779 students within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. The school is in the midst of a remarkable turnaround, climbing from the 14th percentile in the 2022-2023 school year to the 44th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year—a 30-percentile-point jump in just two years. This rate of improvement is not seen in most nearby peers, as schools like Kensington Park Elementary School (19th percentile) and Kinloch Park Elementary School (21st percentile) have remained stagnant in the bottom quartile.

However, Auburndale faces significant challenges. The school spends $16,344 per student, which is notably higher than nearby schools like Silver Bluff Elementary School ($14,854) and Shenandoah Elementary School ($11,830), yet its overall ranking still lags behind lower-spending schools like Mater Grove Academy (88th percentile). A critical issue is the school's "two-speed" academic profile: 4th graders significantly outperformed the district and state in both English Language Arts (68% vs. 64%) and Math (77% vs. 71%) in the 2025-2026 school year, but the same cohort of 5th graders scored well below the district and state in both subjects (40% in ELA vs. 65%; 46% in Math vs. 67%). This "4th-grade peak, 5th-grade cliff" pattern has persisted for four years, suggesting a systemic issue in the upper elementary grades.

Chronic absenteeism is another major headwind, with a rate of 32.2% in 2023-2024—significantly higher than high-performing nearby schools like Coral Gables Preparatory Academy (10.5%) and Mater Grove Academy (18.0%). While the rate has been declining from a peak of 38.2% in 2021-2022, it remains above the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages. The most encouraging finding is the clear upward trend, with significant year-over-year gains in almost every subject and grade level (e.g., 4th grade Math jumped from 48% to 77% proficiency). This suggests recent interventions are working, but the persistent 5th-grade slump and high absenteeism rates are significant obstacles to reaching the next level of performance.
