Summary

North Beach Elementary School in Miami Beach, FL, is a high-performing public school serving 905 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it stands out as the largest elementary school in its area with a strong reputation for academic excellence.

North Beach Elementary consistently ranks in the top 10% of Florida elementary schools, currently placing in the 89th percentile, which is a remarkable achievement compared to nearby schools like Miami Beach Feinberg/Fisher K-8 (ranking in the 9th percentile) and Treasure Island Elementary School (33rd percentile). The school shows impressive consistency across all subjects and grades, with proficiency rates between 75% and 84% in ELA, Math, and Science for 3rd through 5th graders. This is a stark contrast to schools like Toussaint L'Ouverture Elementary, where 5th-grade science proficiency is 95% but 3rd-grade ELA drops to just 39%. North Beach also benefits from a low chronic absenteeism rate of 17.1%, significantly better than the Miami-Dade district average of 28.2% and schools like Bridgeprep Academy Of Greater Miami (35.6%).

Interestingly, North Beach achieves these results with a per-student spending of $12,436, which is less than lower-performing nearby schools like Biscayne Beach Elementary ($15,923) and Treasure Island Elementary ($16,757), suggesting efficient use of resources. Its closest academic competitor is Miami Children's Museum Charter School, which ranks in the 94th percentile but has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (26.6%) and lower per-student spending ($9,026). While North Beach has seen a slight dip from its peak performance in 2017-2019, it remains a top-tier choice for families seeking a stable, high-achieving elementary school in the Miami Beach area.
