Summary

Village Green Elementary School is a small, PK-5 public school in Miami, FL, serving 264 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it has earned a strong 4-star rating and ranks in the 84th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

This school stands out for its exceptional science performance, with 81% of 5th graders proficient compared to the district average of 59%—a clear advantage over nearby schools like Greenglade Elementary (50%) and Royal Green Elementary (57%). Math is also a consistent strength across all grades, with scores well above state averages. However, English Language Arts (ELA) scores show a notable dip in 4th grade, where only 55% of students were proficient in the most recent year, a sharp drop from 77% the year prior and below the district average of 64%. This volatility is partly due to the school’s small size, where a single cohort can significantly swing results. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism is low at 16.2%, much better than the district average of 28.2%, indicating strong student attendance.

Village Green has shown a remarkable rebound from a low point in the 2022-2023 school year, climbing from the 57th percentile back to the 84th percentile. Its high per-student spending of $17,221, driven by its small enrollment, may contribute to individualized attention and strong outcomes. Compared to its closest neighbor, Greenglade Elementary, which is just 0.48 miles away and has a similar size, Village Green significantly outperforms in science and math, suggesting that factors like school culture and leadership are driving its success. This resilience and focus on core subjects make it a compelling choice for families seeking a tight-knit, high-performing school.
