Summary

Dr. Robert B. Ingram Elementary School is a small, PK-5 public school in Opa Locka, FL, serving 232 students within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it has recently experienced a dramatic academic turnaround after years of struggling.

The most striking story at Ingram is its rapid improvement. After ranking in the bottom 12% of Florida elementary schools for years, the school has jumped to the 47th percentile, earning a 2-star rating for the first time. This is a stark contrast to nearby schools like Benjamin Franklin K-8 Center and Henry Elementary School Reeves K-8 Center, which have both dropped in state rankings over the same period. Ingram’s 5th graders now outperform both district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math, a massive reversal from the previous year. However, this success is uneven—3rd-grade Math proficiency dropped from 60% to 41% in the same timeframe, suggesting the turnaround may be driven by specific teachers or cohorts rather than a school-wide change.

Despite this progress, Ingram faces a major challenge: it has the highest chronic absenteeism rate in the area, with 47.6% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—nearly double the district average and over five times higher than the nearby top-performing North Dade Center For Modern Languages. The school also spends a significant $17,561 per student, more than many peers, yet historically produced low results. While the recent gains are promising, the school must address its absenteeism crisis to sustain this momentum. The contrast with North Dade, a 5-star school just 1.3 miles away with a 9% absenteeism rate, highlights the different challenges Ingram’s community faces, making its recent improvement all the more noteworthy.
