Summary

Silver Bluff Elementary School is a small public school in Miami's Coconut Grove area, serving 358 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and has recently made a dramatic academic turnaround that sets it apart from many nearby schools.

After years of low performance, Silver Bluff jumped from the 29th percentile to the 56th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 3-star rating—its best ranking in nearly a decade. This improvement is especially notable in math, where 78% of 3rd graders and 74% of 4th graders are now proficient, surpassing district and state averages and even outperforming some higher-ranked neighbors like Coral Gables Preparatory Academy and Mater Grove Academy in those grades. However, the school faces a persistent "5th grade cliff," with proficiency dropping to 68% in English and 66% in math, and science at just 42%. Chronic absenteeism, while improving from a peak of 32.7% to 23.2%, remains a concern, especially compared to top-performing schools like George W. Carver Elementary School (6.4%) and Coconut Grove Elementary School (4.9%).

Silver Bluff's story is particularly compelling given its context. It serves a higher-needs population (52.5% free/reduced lunch) compared to nearby high-achievers like George W. Carver (16.5%), and it spends more per student ($14,854) than those schools. This recent success suggests that targeted investments, especially in early math, are beginning to pay off, making Silver Bluff a promising option for families in the Miami-Dade district who value a school on an upward trajectory.
