Summary

John G. Dupuis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hialeah, FL, serving 508 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade district, and it stands out as a bright spot in its neighborhood with a consistent 3-star rating and strong math performance.

This school is a clear standout in math, with 3rd graders achieving 78% proficiency in 2025-2026—well above the district average of 72% and state average of 66%. This strength is consistent across grades, setting it apart from nearby schools like Palm Springs Elementary and Marcus A. Milam K-8 Center, which struggle in this area. Science is another highlight: 5th graders hit 63% proficiency in 2024-2025, outpacing the district (56%) and state (55%), and topping all nearby elementary schools. However, English Language Arts (ELA) is a relative weakness, with scores generally on par with or slightly below district averages, which holds back the school's overall ranking despite its math and science successes.

Dupuis also excels at managing chronic absenteeism, dropping from a post-pandemic spike of 35.8% in 2021-2022 to just 20.5% in 2023-2024—significantly lower than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, and better than nearby Palm Lakes Elementary (24.2%) and North Twin Lakes Elementary (23.2%). The school maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 15.3:1, offering a more personalized learning environment than many peers like Meadowlane Elementary (18.7:1). While per-student spending ($14,599) is higher than some higher-performing schools like Bob Graham Education Center ($12,859) and Mater Academy ($9,983), Dupuis delivers solid results and a stable, supportive environment for its community.
