Village Green Elementary School

Summary:

Village Green Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 245 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Village Green Elementary School stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, particularly in science and math. In 2023-2024, the school had 67% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 53% for Miami-Dade and Florida. Additionally, 76% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in FAST/Math, significantly higher than the Miami-Dade average of 59% and the Florida average of 56%. This strong academic performance is noteworthy given the school's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.39% to 75.61% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the past three school years.

However, Village Green Elementary School faces a challenge with high chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 6.2% in 2018-2019 to 21.1% in 2022-2023. This is significantly higher than the surrounding schools, such as Pinecrest Cove Academy, Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Elementary, and Cypress K-8 Center. Addressing the factors contributing to this high absenteeism rate could be an important focus for the school and district to ensure continued student success.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
