Summary

Holmes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 390 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.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,673 to $14,641, Holmes Elementary has consistently struggled with academic performance. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates ranged from 25% to 31%, compared to 57% to 60% for the district and state. Additionally, the school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

When comparing Holmes Elementary to nearby schools, such as Orchard Villa Elementary School and Edison Park K-8 Center, it becomes clear that Holmes is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math than Holmes Elementary. The school's challenges may be exacerbated by its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.46% to 96.33% over the past few years, indicating a predominantly low-income student population.
