Summary

Joe Hall Elementary School is a public school in Miami, FL, serving 410 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade district, and it stands out as a well-funded, mid-tier school with a strong math program but some challenges in science and attendance.

Joe Hall invests heavily in its students, spending $21,058 per pupil—the second-highest amount among 11 nearby schools—and maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1. Despite these resources, its state ranking (74th percentile) is below the average for its competitive cluster, where top performers like Pinecrest Preparatory Academy (97th percentile) achieve higher results with significantly less spending ($10,963 per student) and larger class sizes. This suggests that factors beyond funding and class size drive top-tier performance in the area. The school also faces a chronic absenteeism rate of 20.5%, which is higher than the peer average of 15.8% and more than double that of Marjory Stoneman Douglas Elementary (8.8%) and Royal Green Elementary School (9.8%), though it has improved from a peak of 24.5% in 2021-2022.

Academically, Joe Hall is a "math powerhouse" in 4th grade, with 88% of students proficient—the highest score in the entire comparison group—but this strength drops sharply to 60% proficiency in 5th-grade math, the largest decline among peers. Science is a relative weakness, with 73% proficiency in 5th grade, the lowest among the top five area schools. The school has recovered from pandemic lows, improving its ranking from the 65th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 80th percentile in 2024-2025, but recent data shows a plateau, with the ranking slipping to the 74th percentile in 2025-2026. To improve, the school could investigate the math drop-off, target absenteeism, and learn from the operational models of nearby high-performing charter schools like Academir Charter School West (95th percentile).
