Summary

Palm Springs North Elementary School is a large public PK-8 school in Hialeah, FL, serving 1,422 students as part of the Miami-Dade district, and it stands out for its exceptional advanced math program while facing a notable challenge in 4th grade reading.

The school's biggest strength is its Algebra 1 program, where 100% of students scored proficient—far exceeding the district (69%) and state (63%) averages, and even outperforming nearby high-performing schools like Hive Preparatory School (97%). This success extends to middle school math, with 84% of 6th graders and 71% of 7th graders proficient, well above district averages. However, 4th grade English Language Arts (ELA) is a clear weak spot, with only 52% proficient—significantly below the district (64%) and state (60%) averages. This contrasts with stronger ELA scores in 3rd grade (69%) and 6th grade (75%), suggesting a specific instructional challenge at that grade level. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (18.2%) compared to the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%), indicating good student engagement.

Compared to nearby schools, Palm Springs North sits in a competitive middle ground. While it outperforms West Lakes Preparatory Academy and Youth Co-Op Charter School, it trails top-tier charters like Mater Gardens Academy and Somerset Academy Miramar South (ranked #1 in the state) in the Broward district. The school spends $10,684 per student—less than peers like Joella C. Good Elementary ($12,699)—yet achieves solid results, especially in math. The declining free/reduced lunch rate (from 57.1% to 45.3% over three years) suggests a shifting demographic, which families may want to monitor as it could affect school culture and resources.
