Coral Reef Montessori Academy Charter School consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with 89% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC compared to 66% for Miami-Dade and 60% for Florida, and 92% proficiency in Civics EOC compared to 74% for Miami-Dade and 71% for Florida. The school's chronic absenteeism rate, while increasing in recent years, remains lower than the state average. Additionally, the school serves a relatively affluent student population, with a low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to nearby public schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Coral Reef Montessori Academy Charter School stands out as a high-performing institution. Many of the surrounding schools have lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and serve a more economically disadvantaged student population. While the school's overall performance is strong, the increase in chronic absenteeism and lower science proficiency rates in 5th grade are areas that the school may need to address.

We have been here since kindergarten and will be staying through middle school. They are nurturing to both students and parents. Close Quote

This small school is a gem. The class room lessons are individualized to accommodate each students level. The individualized style of teaching helps each student excel at their own pace. This school's no sugar policy teaches students at a young age about eating healthy. They have a great gardening and music program. There are many afterschool activities -soccer, violin, orchestra, chest, etc. The afterschool program is held right in the students own classroom. The parents are encouraged to be involved -and most of the parents are very involved. My daughter has excelled greatly in this school. She is above expectation in all the subjects. Most importantly, my daughter loves going to school. She is excited about all her lessons and has incorporated a lot of her lessons at home. Close Quote
