Summary

Miami Springs Middle School is a public magnet middle school serving grades 6-8 in Miami Springs, Florida, with 664 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is the 22nd largest district in Florida and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, Miami Springs Middle School has consistently struggled with key performance metrics. The school has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 33.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, the school generally underperforms compared to the Miami-Dade district and Florida state averages across various standardized tests, including FAST (English Language Arts and Math) and End-of-Course (EOC) exams. For example, in 2024-2025, only 28% of 6th-8th graders were proficient in FAST English Language Arts, compared to 60-62% at the district and state levels.

The data shows that nearby magnet and charter schools, such as Paul W. Bell Middle School, Renaissance Middle Charter School, and Imater Academy Middle School, generally outperform Miami Springs Middle School on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and free/reduced lunch rates. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, it has not shown significant improvement in its performance over the past several years, raising questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and instructional practices.
