Summary

Fairlawn Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 537 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Fairlawn Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces several challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rates have significantly increased, rising from 16.4% in 2021-2022 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the Miami-Dade and Florida averages across various subjects and grade levels. For instance, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 49%, compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Flagami Elementary and Seminole Elementary, Fairlawn Elementary is underperforming in several key areas. The school's performance has also declined over the years, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 722 out of 2,182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1,115 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025. These challenges present opportunities for targeted interventions and support to address the areas of concern, such as improving attendance and implementing evidence-based instructional strategies.
