Summary

Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Miami Gardens, FL, serving 568 students as part of the Miami-Dade district, where the majority of families qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

This school stands out for its exceptional 3rd-grade math performance: 76% of 3rd graders were proficient in math, which beats the district average (72%) and state average (66%), and is higher than nearby schools like Lake Stevens Elementary (69%). However, this strength is not consistent across subjects or grades. English Language Arts (ELA) scores are a significant weakness—only 41% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, far below the district (64%) and state (60%) averages. This 35-point gap between math and ELA is the largest among nearby schools. Additionally, math proficiency drops sharply in later grades, with 5th-grade math at 48% compared to 3rd-grade's 76%. The school also spends more per student ($16,330) than most local peers, such as Joella C. Good Elementary ($12,699), and has a low student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1, yet overall academic performance remains below district averages.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism at Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary (23%) is lower than the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, and much better than Carol City Elementary (42%). The school's state ranking has also been slowly improving over the last four years, from the 22nd percentile to the 26th percentile. This progress is notable given the competitive local landscape, where high-performing charter schools like Hive Preparatory School (94th percentile) and Somerset Academy Elementary (Miramar Campus) (100th percentile) are within a 1.7-mile radius. For parents, this school offers a strong foundation in early math and smaller class sizes, but may require extra support for literacy and maintaining academic gains in upper grades.
