Summary

Gloria Floyd Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Miami, FL, serving 344 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, where it has historically earned a solid 3 or 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of the most striking things about Gloria Floyd is its significant investment in resources. The school spends $24,065 per student—far more than any nearby school, including high-performing neighbors like Kendale Elementary School ($17,971) and Somerset Academy Bay ($8,917). It also boasts a very low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, the smallest among comparable schools. Despite this, its academic rankings (60th percentile) are generally lower than schools that spend much less, such as Leewood K-8 Center (89th percentile) and Frank Crawford Martin K-8 Center (60th percentile, but with similar demographics and far lower spending). This "high spend, low return" paradox suggests that the school's challenges are not simply about money or class size.

A major red flag is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%—nearly double that of Leewood K-8 (13.3%) and almost four times that of Kendale Elementary (6.8%). This likely drives the academic struggles and the noticeable "grade-level dip" where 3rd graders perform well (74% proficient in ELA), but 4th graders drop to 56%. While the school has a strong early literacy program, it struggles to keep students engaged in upper grades. For parents, this means Gloria Floyd offers small classes and high spending, but its effectiveness is undermined by a serious attendance problem that may require a focused strategy to improve student presence in the classroom.
