Summary

North Twin Lakes Elementary School in Hialeah, FL, serves 590 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miami-Dade school district, and it is a school on a strong upward trajectory, having jumped from the 43rd percentile to the 62nd percentile in state rankings over the last three years.

This school stands out for its exceptional 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) performance, with 71% of students proficient—a rate that beats both the district (65%) and state (61%) averages and outperforms nearby schools like Twin Lakes Elementary School (a 1-star school just half a mile away) and Palm Lakes Elementary School. However, the school shows a unique "math dip" in 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to 56% from over 70% in 3rd and 4th grades—a sharper decline than at nearby Meadowlane Elementary School. Chronic absenteeism, while still a challenge at 23.2%, is improving and is notably better than the district average of 28.2%, which likely supports the school's rising academic performance.

Interestingly, North Twin Lakes achieves these results with a per-student spending of $12,994, which is moderate compared to neighbors like Amelia Earhart Elementary School ($15,071) and Twin Lakes Elementary ($15,668), both of which have lower rankings. This suggests effective use of resources. While 5th-grade science scores have improved to 60% proficiency (matching the state average), this remains a consistent area for growth. Overall, North Twin Lakes is a rising star in the area, showing that school leadership and instructional strategies can make a significant difference, even in the same neighborhood as lower-performing schools.
