Summary

Rockway Elementary School in Miami, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school (PK-5) serving 370 students within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, a district ranked in the top 30% of Florida. The school stands out for its exceptional math performance, with proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades consistently outpacing both district and state averages—for example, 76% of 3rd graders were proficient in math in the 2025-2026 school year. This strength is not as consistently seen at nearby schools like E.W.F. Stirrup Elementary School or Tropical Elementary School.

Rockway also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at 15.4%, far below the district average of 28.2% and the state average of 31.4%, indicating strong family-school connections. The school invests heavily in its students, spending $15,228 per pupil—more than nearby Coral Park Elementary School ($14,368) and significantly more than Pinecrest Cove Academy ($9,503)—which supports a low student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1. This creates a more intimate learning environment compared to larger schools like Pinecrest Cove Academy, which has a ratio of 21.3:1.

However, Rockway faces challenges. While math is a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency is a consistent area of concern, with scores trailing the district average in every grade. Additionally, science scores have been volatile, dropping from 70% proficiency in 2024-2025 to 48% in 2025-2026, while nearby Everglades K-8 Center maintained high science scores. The school’s statewide ranking recently dipped from the 71st percentile to the 55th percentile, suggesting that while Rockway remains solid, it needs to accelerate improvement in literacy and stabilize science to keep pace with rising standards across Florida.
