Summary

Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 378 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school's spending per student is relatively high, ranging from $10,638 to $15,610 over the past few years, its academic performance has been a concern. Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center has significantly lower test scores compared to the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 29% to 53%, while the Miami-Dade and Florida averages were around 60% and 55-57%, respectively. Similarly, in math, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 29% to 71%, compared to 54-69% for Miami-Dade and 50-63% for Florida. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 40.2% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical rate for elementary and middle schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. For example, Arcola Lake Elementary School and Lillie C. Evans K-8 Center have higher proficiency rates in ELA and math, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. The school's declining ranking, from 1496 out of 2118 Florida elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 2018 out of 2258 in 2024-2025, suggests that it is struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.
