Summary

Coral Way K-8 Center is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 1,071 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Coral Way K-8 Center consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in various standardized tests, including EOC/Algebra 1, EOC/Civics, Statewide Science/Science, and FAST/English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Coral Way K-8 Center had 81% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1, compared to 66% for Miami-Dade and 60% for Florida. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.0% in the 2021-2022 school year to 31.4% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is an area of concern.

Coral Way K-8 Center generally outperforms the nearby schools in terms of test scores, with the exception of Ada Merritt K-8 Center, which is a high-performing magnet school. The school's spending per student has increased from $10,938 in the 2020-2021 school year to $12,138 in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting a commitment to investing in the school's resources and programs. However, the student-teacher ratio has increased from 16.3 in the 2021-2022 school year to 17.8 in the 2023-2024 school year, which may impact the quality of individual attention and support provided to students.

What people are saying

by a parent
Sunday, May 29, 2011

The new principal is a definite improvement, but still has a way to go in terms of dealing with parents. It it true, the teachers don't like the outdoor heat and so the students don't get mush outside exercise. The home work is over whelming and only the minority of teachers display any level of genuine concern students as individuals.

I have plenty invested in the performance of this school since I actually have all three of my kids attending there. They are all in the gifted program, so I am counting that it (the gifted program) will make an academic difference for my children. The bilingual program is a plus for the school. Although my kids are scoring 4's and 5's on the FCAT, they are not getting good grades because they find the class non-motivational and boring. There is an considerable problem with bullying.
