Summary

Jack David Gordon Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 805 students from Pre-K through 5th grade within the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district, and it has earned a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past decade.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. In the 2025-2026 school year, Jack David Gordon achieved an average of 76% proficiency in ELA and 79% in Math across grades 3-5, significantly outpacing both the district and state averages. This strong performance is a reliable indicator of quality, as the school has maintained a stable state ranking between the 71st and 87th percentile for ten years. For context, while nearby Calusa Elementary School is a 5-star school with even higher scores, Jack David Gordon achieves excellent results with a more diverse student body, where about 42% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Miami Heights Elementary School, just 3.55 miles away, ranks in the 27th percentile, highlighting the significant impact of school choice within a small radius.

Another key strength is the school's low and improving chronic absenteeism rate of 17.3% for 2023-2024, which is dramatically lower than the district average of 28.2% and the state average of 31.4%. This suggests a strong culture of attendance and student engagement. Additionally, the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch has dropped from nearly 55% in 2022-2023 to about 42% in 2024-2025, a positive trend that could lead to even higher academic performance in the future. Jack David Gordon Elementary is a top-tier, reliable choice for families seeking consistent, high-quality education in Miami-Dade County.
