Summary

Vineland K-8 Center is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 671 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 8th grade, and is located in a neighborhood with an exceptionally high concentration of elite schools.

Vineland K-8 stands out for its consistent high performance across all grade levels and its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 8.9% in the 2023-2024 school year—far below the Miami-Dade district average of 28.2% and the state average of 31.4%. This indicates a highly engaged student body and strong family-school connections. The school also excels in advanced coursework, with 98% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 99% in Civics, scores that rival top-tier charter schools like True North Classical Academy At Pinecrest. However, a notable pattern is a persistent dip in 5th-grade math proficiency, which dropped to 55% in the 2025-2026 school year, compared to 77% in 4th grade and 88% in 6th grade, suggesting a curriculum challenge that warrants attention.

While Vineland K-8 is a top-tier school, it operates in a "super-cluster" of elite schools, including Palmetto Elementary School, Somerset Academy Bay, and Somerset Academy Kendall, which consistently rank in the top 1-5% of Florida elementary schools. Vineland K-8's state percentile rank has fluctuated between the 78th and 93rd percentiles over the past decade, and it currently sits at the 82nd percentile. Despite this competition, the school provides strong value with per-student spending of $13,323, achieving results that are competitive with higher-spending peers like Gloria Floyd Elementary School, which spends $24,065 per student for lower academic outcomes.
