Summary

Lillie C. Evans K-8 Center is a small, Title I school in the Liberty City neighborhood of Miami, FL, serving 269 students in grades PK through 8 within the Miami-Dade district.

This school presents a unique "Jekyll and Hyde" academic profile. While its upper grades (6-8) are strong performers—with 8th-grade science proficiency at 83% (far exceeding the district's 49%) and 100% of Algebra 1 test-takers passing—its lower grades (3-5) struggle significantly. For example, only 33% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 64% district-wide. This stark contrast is far more pronounced than at nearby Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center, which shows more consistent performance across all grade levels. The school also faces a major challenge with chronic absenteeism, which at 42% is the highest among comparable K-8 centers in the area and is likely a key driver of low early-grade performance. Despite spending a high $17,666 per student—more than nearby Holmes Elementary School ($13,414) and Dr. Mack ($15,420)—academic outcomes in the elementary grades remain low, suggesting a need for more effective early intervention and attendance strategies.

Interestingly, the middle school program appears to be a hidden gem, raising the question of what is working so well there that could be replicated in the lower grades. A dramatic turnaround in 5th-grade science scores—from just 5% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 43% in 2025-2026—hints at potential for improvement. For context, Liberty City Elementary School, just a third of a mile away and serving a similar demographic, outperforms Lillie C. Evans in nearly every elementary subject, proving that high poverty does not have to equal low performance. This suggests the school's challenges are not about funding, but about school culture, leadership, and instructional quality.
