Summary

North Miami Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 428 students in grades PK-5 in the Miami-Dade school district in North Miami, Florida. The school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 1050 out of 2258 Florida elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

North Miami Elementary School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.6% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores also lag behind the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 50% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 60% in the district and 57% statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 67.52% to 88.49% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district average.

When comparing North Miami Elementary School to nearby schools, it becomes clear that the school is underperforming. For instance, Mater Academy Bay Biscayne North Miami Elementary School, which is only 1.66 miles away, consistently outperforms North Miami Elementary School on test scores and has a much lower chronic absenteeism rate. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at North Miami Elementary School, ranging from $13,136 to $17,758 over the past few years, the school is still underperforming, suggesting that the issue may not be solely about funding, but rather how the resources are being utilized and targeted to address the specific needs of the student population.
