Summary

Glades Middle School is a public middle school in Miami, FL, serving 533 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, and it has earned a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating solid, average performance.

Glades Middle School stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced coursework, achieving near-perfect proficiency rates on high school-level End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, 96% of students are proficient in Algebra 1 and 100% in Geometry and Biology 1, rivaling top-performing charter schools like Archimedean Middle Conservatory and Somerset Academy Bay Middle School. However, this strength contrasts with weaker grade-level math performance, particularly in 7th grade, where only 51% of students are proficient on the FAST Math exam—the lowest among comparable Miami-Dade schools like Howard D. McMillan Middle School (56%) and South Miami Middle School (56%). Similarly, English Language Arts (ELA) scores show an 8th-grade "bounce," with 70% proficiency in 8th grade compared to 60% in 7th grade, suggesting uneven curriculum alignment across grades.

Chronic absenteeism is a notable challenge at Glades, with a rate of 21.4% for the 2023-2024 school year, higher than nearby charters like Somerset Academy Charter Middle School (South Miami Campus) (3.8%) and Somerset Academy Bay Middle School (9.1%), though better than the district average of 28.2%. The school spends $13,380 per student, above the average of comparable schools, yet its overall state ranking (68th percentile) lags behind top-performing neighbors. This suggests a "barbell" strategy: strong support for advanced students but a need for improvement in core instruction for the majority, especially in 7th-grade math and ELA.
