Summary

Poinciana Park Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 170 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student, ranging from $23,248 to $30,360 over the past few years, Poinciana Park Elementary's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 18-32% of Poinciana Park students were proficient in FAST English Language Arts and Math, compared to 57-69% for the district and 55-63% for the state. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 53.8% over the past few years, which are much higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Poinciana Park has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 84.12% to 97.75%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Lillie C. Evans K-8 Center, Charles R Drew K-8 Center, and Agenoria S Paschal/Olinda Elementary School, generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to Poinciana Park Elementary School. This suggests that Poinciana Park may be facing unique challenges that the other schools in the area are not experiencing.
