Summary

North Hialeah Elementary School is a public school in Hialeah, FL, serving 478 students in grades PK-5 within the highly-rated Miami-Dade County Public School District. The school has shown a remarkable academic turnaround, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2023-2024 to a 2-star rating (45th percentile) in the most recent data, driven by standout performances in math and science that outpace many nearby schools.

North Hialeah's strongest asset is its exceptional 5th-grade science program, where 64% of students are proficient—a rate that beats both the district (59%) and state (60%) averages. This is a significant improvement from just 30% proficiency two years ago and far exceeds neighboring schools like Flamingo Elementary (48%) and Amelia Earhart Elementary (48%). The school also shines in math, with an average proficiency of 67.3% across all tested grades, and 3rd-grade math is a particular highlight at 74% proficiency—above the state average of 66%. However, English Language Arts (ELA) remains a persistent challenge, with proficiency rates (46-53%) lagging well behind district and state averages, which is the main factor preventing a higher overall rating.

Compared to its closest neighbor, Flamingo Elementary (just 0.63 miles away and with a similar student population), North Hialeah is stronger in math and science but slightly weaker in ELA. Chronic absenteeism (27.8%) is a concern, though it is slightly better than the district average and notably lower than some peers like Palm Springs Elementary. Interestingly, North Hialeah's per-student spending ($13,460) is mid-range compared to nearby schools, suggesting its recent success is driven by effective instructional strategies rather than a larger budget. This school is a compelling choice for parents who prioritize strong math and science foundations, especially in the upper elementary grades.
