Summary

North Glade Elementary School is a small public school in Miami Gardens, FL, serving 216 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miami-Dade district, where a majority of families (63%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a remarkable turnaround story. After years of low rankings, North Glade has climbed from the 16th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026—a jump of over 600 places in state rankings. The most dramatic improvements are in the classroom: 5th-grade science proficiency soared from 19% to 62% in just three years, and 3rd-grade math more than doubled from 28% to 58%. Fourth graders are the standout performers, beating both district and state averages in math (71% proficient) and English Language Arts (66% proficient). This is a sharp contrast to nearby schools like Carol City Elementary School, which has dropped to the 9th percentile, and Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary School, which remains in the low 20s. While the high-performing Hive Preparatory School (94th percentile) serves a different population, North Glade is clearly pulling away from its most direct peers.

Key advantages for families include a low student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1—better than Miami Gardens Elementary School (18.8:1) and Carol City Elementary School (22:1)—allowing for more individualized attention. The school also invests $15,203 per student, higher than several neighbors. Chronic absenteeism, once a major challenge at 34.7%, has dropped to 23.2%—now better than the district and state averages. One area to watch is a performance gap between grades: while 4th graders excel, 5th graders lag in math (50%) and ELA (54%), though their science scores (62%) are a bright spot. Overall, North Glade is a school on the rise, making steady gains that deserve attention from local parents.
