Summary

Scott Lake Elementary School in Miami, FL, is a public school serving 472 students in grades PK-5 within the Miami-Dade district, and it stands out as a high-performing academic leader in its area.

Scott Lake has shown a remarkable turnaround over the past five years, climbing from the 30th percentile in state rankings to the 60th-71st percentile range. This sustained improvement makes it a clear standout among nearby non-magnet schools. For example, its 2025-2026 ranking of 885 out of 2240 (60th percentile) is dramatically higher than neighbors like Parkway Elementary School (28th percentile), Rainbow Park Elementary School (17th percentile), and Excelsior Prep Charter School Of Miami Gardens (18th percentile). The only school in the immediate area that outperforms Scott Lake is the magnet school, North Dade Center For Modern Languages, which is ranked in the 99th percentile. Scott Lake also achieves these results with a relatively low budget ($13,717 per student), making it a highly efficient school compared to lower-performing peers like Norwood Elementary School ($20,104 per student) and Bunche Park Elementary School ($19,058 per student).

Academically, Scott Lake's 3rd-grade students are a standout cohort, with 74% proficient in both English Language Arts and Math in 2025-2026—well above district and state averages. Math scores are a consistent strength, with 5th-grade math proficiency at 73% in the same year. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (22.7%) than many neighbors, such as Rainbow Park (40.8%) and Bunche Park (40.2%). While there is a noticeable dip in 4th-grade math scores compared to 3rd grade, the overall picture is of a school that is a true academic bright spot in its community, offering families a strong option for elementary education.
