Summary

Hialeah Elementary School is a public school in Hialeah, FL, serving approximately 700 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade district, where a high percentage of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has faced persistent academic challenges, ranking in the bottom quarter of Florida elementary schools for the last four years and currently sitting at the 21st percentile. Test scores are consistently below district and state averages across most subjects and grade levels. For example, in 5th-grade math, only 45% of students are proficient compared to 72% at nearby South Hialeah Elementary School, which is just 0.38 miles away and serves a similar student population. A notable bright spot is 4th-grade English Language Arts, where 56% of students are proficient—a much smaller gap from the district average. The school also spends significantly less per student ($12,831) than neighbors like Miami Springs Elementary School ($20,953) and Springview Elementary School ($16,924).

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 31% in 2021-2022 to 18.2% in 2023-2024, which is better than both the district and state averages. This improvement in attendance is a hopeful sign, though it has not yet translated into higher test scores. The school's performance is more comparable to Broadmoor Elementary School (19th percentile) and Excelsior Prep Charter School of Hialeah (15th percentile for elementary grades), highlighting that factors like school leadership and teaching quality may be driving outcomes beyond just socioeconomic status.
