Summary

North Miami Elementary School is a public PK-5 school in North Miami, FL, serving 430 students as part of the Miami-Dade school district, and it stands out for its strong math program and impressive recent turnaround, despite serving a community where 65.81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

One of the most notable features of North Miami Elementary is its exceptional math performance. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school met or exceeded state averages in math across all tested grades—3rd, 4th, and 5th—with proficiency rates of 67%, 67%, and 64%, respectively. This is a significant achievement, especially when compared to nearby schools like Fulford Elementary School or Archcreek Elementary School, which have not shown the same consistency. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores lag behind, with a 23-point gap in 3rd grade proficiency (41% vs. 60% statewide), creating a "math strong, reading weak" profile that is unusual for the area. On a positive note, the school has made remarkable progress in reducing chronic absenteeism to 17.6%—far lower than the district average of 28.2% and better than peers like Gratigny Elementary School (24.4%)—suggesting a supportive school culture.

North Miami Elementary is clearly in the midst of a successful turnaround. After ranking in the 11th percentile in 2021, it has climbed to the 45th percentile in 2025, a trend not seen in nearby schools like Oak Grove Elementary School, which has declined. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $16,789 per pupil—more than Gertrude K. Edelman/Sabal Palm or W. J. Bryan Elementary—and maintaining a low student-teacher ratio of 12.6:1. Science scores have also surged, reaching 62% proficiency in 2025-2026, above both district and state averages. While the school still faces challenges in reading, its upward trajectory and targeted investments make it a compelling choice for families seeking a school that is actively improving.
