Summary

Campbell Drive K-8 Center in Homestead, FL, serves 844 students from Pre-K through 8th grade within the Miami-Dade school district, where a majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school presents a unique "J-curve" of academic performance: its elementary grades (3-5) consistently score well below district and state averages, while its middle school grades (6-8) and advanced coursework often meet or exceed those same benchmarks. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency is 34%, compared to the district's 72%, yet 8th grade math proficiency jumps to 76% (beating the district's 65%). The school also excels in advanced exams, with Algebra 1 proficiency at 76% and Civics at an outstanding 92%. This pattern is not unique to Campbell Drive—nearby schools like Irving & Beatrice Peskoe K-8 Center and Leisure City K-8 Center show similar strength in Algebra 1, suggesting a district-wide focus on advanced math in K-8 centers. However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which affects 33.6% of students—higher than nearby charters like The Charter School At Waterstone (22.1%) and Somerset Arts Academy (19.2%).

Despite spending more per student ($13,949) than many higher-performing charter neighbors, the school's elementary performance lags, likely tied to the high absenteeism rate. The middle school's success, even with this challenge, suggests that students who attend regularly are well-served. For parents, this means Campbell Drive offers a strong middle school experience and advanced coursework opportunities, but the elementary years require extra attention to attendance and foundational skills. The school's ability to retain families despite competition from charters like Somerset Academy Charter Elementary School (South Homestead) highlights the value of its upper-grade programming.
