Summary

Madie Ives K-8 Preparatory Academy in North Miami Beach, FL, serves 1,083 students from Pre-K through 8th grade within the Miami-Dade district, a school where 54.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a moderate-to-high level of economic diversity in the area.

This school stands out for its exceptional performance in high school-level courses, with 93% of students proficient in Geometry and Biology 1—far exceeding district and state averages—and 69% in Algebra 1, matching the district. This strength in advanced coursework is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Aventura Waterways K-8 Center and Bridgeprep Academy Of North Miami Beach, despite Madie Ives having a higher poverty rate. However, the school shows a "J-curve" in math: proficiency drops from 63% in 3rd grade to 33% in 5th grade, then rebounds to 76% in 8th grade, well above the district average. Similarly, English Language Arts improves from 63% in 5th grade to 75% in 8th grade, the highest among nearby K-8 schools. Chronic absenteeism, while still a concern at 20.2%, is lower than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, and better than Aventura Waterways (23.5%) and Ojus Elementary School (23.7%).

The school’s overall state ranking has been volatile, peaking at the 61st percentile in 2016-2017, dropping to the 34th percentile in 2020-2021, and recently slipping to the 39th percentile for 2025-2026. This decline is likely tied to a troubling weakness in elementary math, particularly in 4th and 5th grades, where proficiency rates (47% and 33%) are significantly below district and state averages, and lower than schools like Greynolds Park Elementary School (58%) and Hibiscus Elementary School (72%). Despite these challenges, the school’s middle school program is a clear strength, suggesting that students who persist through the early grades receive a high-quality education that prepares them well for high school, with spending per student ($12,117) in the middle of the pack among peers.
