Summary

William H. Lehman Elementary School is a public elementary school in the Kendall area of Miami, serving 522 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District. This school has a strong track record, consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the last five years, with a history of achieving 5-star ratings before the pandemic. About 36% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, a figure that has been declining, suggesting a stabilizing community.

Lehman Elementary truly shines in math, especially in 5th grade where 90% of students were proficient in the 2025-2026 school year—a remarkable 28 points above the state average. This performance rivals top nearby schools like Somerset Academy Bay (92%) and Kendale Elementary (91%), and far exceeds schools like Frank Crawford Martin K-8 Center (64%). The school also excels in English Language Arts across all tested grades, with 3rd graders hitting 81% proficiency compared to the district's 64%. However, 5th-grade science is a relative weak point at 58% proficiency, below the state average, which is an area to watch.

One of the school's standout features is its low chronic absenteeism rate of just 16%, dramatically lower than the district average of 28.2% and the state average of 31.4%. This points to strong family engagement and a positive school culture. While Lehman is not the absolute top performer in its competitive neighborhood—Ben Gamla Charter School nearby has higher 5th-grade ELA scores—it offers a reliable, high-quality traditional public school option without the lottery-based admission of charters. For families seeking a stable, well-rounded school with exceptional math instruction and a strong sense of community, Lehman Elementary is an excellent choice.
