Summary

Charles R Hadley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, FL, serving 595 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade district, and it has recently earned a 2-star rating, reflecting a notable decline in academic performance.

While the school shows strong early math skills—with 3rd and 4th graders scoring 75% and 85% proficiency in math, respectively—there is a dramatic drop in 5th grade. In the most recent data, 5th-grade math proficiency fell to 49%, and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency dropped to 46%, both the lowest among nearby schools like Coral Park Elementary (65% math, 73% ELA) and Seminole Elementary (85% math, 66% ELA). Science proficiency in 5th grade is also low at 41%, well below the district average of 59%. This "5th-grade cliff" is a persistent issue, suggesting a need for curriculum or teaching support in upper grades. On a positive note, the school excels in attendance, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4%—significantly better than the district average of 28.2% and lower than nearby Everglades K-8 Center (19.2%).

Interestingly, Hadley spends $15,231 per student, which is higher than several higher-performing nearby schools, such as Doral Academy ($8,849) and Pinecrest North Preparatory (Fontainebleau Campus) ($11,745). Pinecrest North, located just 0.52 miles away, is a 5-star school with 5th-grade math and ELA scores of 93% and 90%, highlighting a stark contrast in outcomes within the same neighborhood. For parents, Hadley offers a strong foundation in early grades and excellent attendance, but the significant academic decline in 5th grade and high spending without proportional results are key concerns to consider.
