Summary

Carrie P. Meek/Westview K-8 Center in Miami, FL, is a public school serving 548 students in grades PK through 8 within the Miami-Dade district, where about 66% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a unique "tale of two schools" under one roof. On one hand, students in advanced courses (like Algebra 1, Biology, and Civics) achieve exceptional results, with proficiency rates far exceeding district and state averages—for example, 100% proficiency in Biology 1. On the other hand, the majority of students in standard grade-level classes (grades 3-7) struggle significantly, with scores well below peers. For instance, only 34% of 5th graders are proficient in ELA compared to 65% district-wide. This stark contrast suggests resources may be heavily focused on advanced tracks, leaving foundational grades behind. Compounding this issue is an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 39.6%, the highest among nearby K-8 centers and nearly 4.5 times higher than the top-performing North Dade Center For Modern Languages (9.0%).

Despite spending $17,279 per student—the second-highest in the area—the school's overall state ranking sits in the 25th percentile (1-star rating), with a volatile history of ups and downs. Nearby schools with similar demographics, like Benjamin Franklin K-8 Center (0.94 miles away), achieve better results with significantly less spending ($12,744) and far lower absenteeism (16.5%). For parents, the key takeaway is that while the school excels for a select group of advanced students, the broader student body faces serious challenges with attendance and core academic skills, making it crucial to investigate how the school supports all learners, not just those in accelerated programs.
