Summary

Norland Middle School is a public magnet school in Miami, Florida, serving 642 students in grades 6-8. 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 Norland Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Florida middle schools over the past several years, it outperforms the district and state averages in several key test areas, particularly in End-of-Course (EOC) exams.

For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Norland had 87% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 66% for Miami-Dade and 60% for Florida. Similarly, Norland had 100% proficiency in Geometry EOC and 95% in Biology 1 EOC, well above the district and state averages. However, the school faces significant challenges, such as a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 25.0% to 31.4% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the typical rate for middle schools in Florida.

Norland Middle School also serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 65.73% to 90.2% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch over the past few years. The school's higher per-student spending, ranging from $9,690 to $11,801, suggests that it is allocating more resources to its students, but the school's overall performance, as indicated by its low statewide ranking, suggests that the additional spending may not be translating into improved academic outcomes for all students.
