Summary

Henry H. Filer Middle School is a public middle school located in Hialeah, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 723 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a relatively high-performing district, Henry H. Filer Middle School has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in academic areas such as English Language Arts (32-36% proficiency vs 60-62%) and Math (34-42% proficiency vs 50-64%). The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 26.5% to 31.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing Henry H.

This suggests that there may be pockets of excellence within the school that could be leveraged to improve overall academic outcomes.
