Summary

Redland Middle School is a public magnet middle school located in Homestead, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 692 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Redland Middle School has access to significant resources, with spending per student ranging from $12,586 to $14,246, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 37.7%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 39-46% and 38-50%, respectively, compared to 60-62% and 54-64% for the district.

When comparing Redland Middle School to nearby schools, such as Jorge Mas Canosa Middle School, Herbert A. Ammons Middle School, and some of the charter schools in the area, it becomes evident that Redland Middle School is underperforming academically. These nearby schools have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. The high rates of economic disadvantage among Redland Middle School's student population, with 67.49% to 89.85% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. By addressing the key metrics that differentiate the school and exploring strategies to support its unique student population, Redland Middle School can work towards improving student outcomes and better serving the Homestead community.
