Summary

Gertrude K. Edelman/Sabal Palm is a public elementary school in North Miami Beach, FL, serving 476 students in grades PK-5 within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, a district ranked in the top 30% statewide. After a challenging 2022-2023 school year, the school has shown a strong recovery, now ranking in the 45th percentile with a 2-star rating. It serves a predominantly low-income population, with over 63% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, yet it is achieving notable results that make it a stable and improving choice for families.

The school’s standout strength is its remarkable improvement in 5th Grade Science, which now exceeds both district and state averages at 63% proficiency. This is higher than nearby schools like Scott Lake Elementary (54%), Greynolds Park Elementary (54%), and Fulford Elementary (52%). Additionally, Edelman/Sabal Palm has lower chronic absenteeism (20%) compared to the district average (28.2%) and many peers, including Linda Lentin K-8 Center (22.2%). In math, the school has bounced back strongly, with 5th Grade Math rising from 31% to 55% proficiency over three years—a 24-point gain that now matches Oak Grove Elementary (55%) and surpasses Archcreek Elementary (46%).

Interestingly, the school achieves these results with a moderate per-student spending of $14,366, which is more efficient than Thomas Jefferson Biscayne Gardens K-8 Academy ($18,294 per student, 10th percentile) and comparable to Scott Lake Elementary ($13,717, 60th percentile). Nearby K-8 schools like Linda Lentin and Thomas Jefferson show a split pattern, with weak elementary scores but strong middle school results in advanced subjects, suggesting a selective approach in upper grades. In contrast, Edelman/Sabal Palm provides a consistent, equitable experience for all students in foundational grades, making it a reliable option for elementary education in North Miami Beach.
