Summary

Seminole Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 508 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade district, and it has recently emerged as a top performer in the area.

Seminole Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, ranking in the 90th percentile of Florida elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year—far ahead of nearby schools like Flagami Elementary (62nd percentile) and Fairlawn Elementary (53rd percentile). The school’s math scores are particularly impressive, with proficiency rates of 88% in 3rd grade, 89% in 4th grade, and 85% in 5th grade, consistently outperforming every nearby traditional school. For example, in 4th grade math, Seminole’s 89% proficiency is 18 points higher than the next best nearby school, Banyan Elementary. This success is supported by a low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.5%, well below the district average of 28.2%, and efficient spending of $13,828 per student—lower than peers like Sylvania Heights Elementary ($16,670) that achieve weaker results.

The school has shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 68th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 90th percentile in 2025-2026, with 5th-grade science proficiency rising from 43% to 77% over the same period. While math is a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) scores are above average but less dominant, with 5th-grade ELA at 66%—only slightly above the district average. Note that the nearby Pinecrest North Preparatory (Fontainebleau Campus) is a magnet/charter school with a different demographic profile, so it’s not a direct comparison. Overall, Seminole offers a stable, high-quality education with consistent performance across all grade levels.
