Summary

Coconut Grove Elementary School is a high-performing public school in the affluent Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, serving 547 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Miami-Dade district. This school is a consistent academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 3% of all elementary schools in Florida for the 2025-2026 school year, with exceptional proficiency rates across all subjects—such as 91% in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and 89% in 3rd-grade math—that far exceed district and state averages by 20-30 percentage points.

What truly sets Coconut Grove Elementary apart is its extremely low chronic absenteeism rate of just 4.9%, a dramatic improvement from the previous year and far below the district average of 28.2%. This indicates a highly engaged student body and a strong school culture that prioritizes attendance. The school also benefits from a low student-to-teacher ratio of 14.7:1 and serves a relatively affluent population, with only 11.52% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. When compared to nearby elite schools like Henry S. West Laboratory School (ranked 12th) and George W. Carver Elementary School (ranked 13th), Coconut Grove Elementary offers a unique balance of affordability, smaller class sizes, and a longer track record of top-100 state rankings over the past decade.

Interestingly, the school is located in a "bubble" of academic success, with four schools within a two-mile radius ranking in the top 13% of the state, including Somerset Gables Academy. Yet, just a mile away, schools like Francis S. Tucker K-8 Center serve much higher-poverty populations and rank much lower. Coconut Grove Elementary has also shown remarkable resilience post-pandemic, with test scores improving beyond pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating a strong ability to maintain high standards through disruption. For families seeking a consistent, top-tier public school with a focus on attendance and small class sizes, this is a standout choice.
