Summary

Virginia A Boone-Highland Oaks School is a public elementary school (PK-5) in Miami, FL, serving 586 students within the Miami-Dade district, and it has earned a strong reputation for academic excellence, consistently ranking in the top 15% of elementary schools statewide.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in science and math. In the most recent school year, 84% of 5th graders were proficient in science—a remarkable 25 percentage points above the district average and far surpassing nearby schools like Ojus Elementary School (61%) and even the highly-rated Aventura City Of Excellence School (67%). In 3rd grade math, 91% of students were proficient, the highest score among all neighboring schools. The school also shows consistent strength across all grades in both English Language Arts and math, with proficiency rates ranging from 71% to 91%. This consistency, combined with a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% (well below the district average of 28.2%), points to a well-run school with strong family engagement and effective instruction.

Highland Oaks has also made a remarkable comeback from pandemic-era learning loss, jumping from the 57th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 87th percentile in the latest rankings. While it spends a higher-than-average $14,743 per student, its success is not solely about funding—nearby Aventura City Of Excellence School achieves top results with lower spending. One area for potential growth is 5th grade math, where proficiency (77%) is strong but not as dominant compared to other subjects. Overall, Highland Oaks offers a high-quality, well-rounded education in a diverse community, making it a compelling choice for families in the area.

The Principal is not involved it all with the parents and students, all the time that you need to talk with him he is always busy. If you have a child with Special needs i don't recommend this elementary school it all. I have a very bad experience with my child. Close Quote
