Summary

Lake Stevens Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving 248 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Lake Stevens Elementary consistently performs below the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across grades 3-5, its 5th grade Science proficiency is on par with the district and state. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 32.3% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Barbara Hawkins Elementary, Dr. Frederica S. Wilson/Skyway Elementary, and Myrtle Grove K-8 Center, also face similar performance challenges, with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state averages. However, some nearby schools, like Hive Preparatory School and Joella C. Good Elementary, have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that there may be opportunities for improvement at Lake Stevens Elementary and the surrounding schools.
