Summary

Twin Lakes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hialeah, Florida, serving 284 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District. While the district is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in Florida, Twin Lakes Elementary School has faced significant challenges in recent years.

One key issue is the school's consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.9% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Twin Lakes Elementary School's test scores are consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 35-54% compared to 56-69% for the district and 55-63% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.15% to 79.29%, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Twin Lakes Elementary School to nearby schools in the same district, such as Meadowlane Elementary School and North Twin Lakes Elementary School, it becomes clear that Twin Lakes is underperforming. These nearby schools have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and better statewide rankings than Twin Lakes Elementary School, which has seen its own statewide ranking decline from 414 out of 2,064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,698 out of 2,258 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom 25% of elementary schools in the state.
