Summary

Christina M. Eve Elementary School is a PK-5 public school in Miami, FL, serving 482 students as part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, and it stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA), and its low chronic absenteeism rate of just 14.9%—far better than the district average of 28.2%.

This school excels in ELA, with proficiency rates consistently above 70% across all grade levels in recent years, including 80% in 5th grade for the 2025-2026 school year. While it is not the top-ranked school in the area—Calusa Elementary School holds that title with a 5-star rating and even lower poverty levels—Christina M. Eve outperforms many nearby schools with similar or higher poverty rates. For example, it surpasses Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy and Claude Pepper Elementary School in 5th-grade ELA, despite having a lower percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch (34.65%). The school also boasts a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15:1 and higher per-pupil spending ($16,058) than many peers, suggesting a resource-rich environment that supports individualized instruction.

An interesting aspect is the school’s remarkable turnaround after a dip in the 2023-2024 school year, when 5th-grade science and math scores dropped. By the 2025-2026 school year, those scores rebounded strongly—science jumped from 35% to 76% proficiency, and math from 47% to 77%—demonstrating effective leadership and a focus on continuous improvement. While Pinecrest Academy (South Campus) achieves high results with a much higher poverty rate, Christina M. Eve offers a stable, high-performing option for families seeking a strong foundation in literacy and a supportive school community.

Open Quote In a few words, a school that truly cares about the individual success of each and every student, no matter the challenge.

Open Quote My children are 5th graders at CME and will be graduating this year. CME is an excellent school that has prepared them academically and socially for middle school. They applied to five magnet middle schools and were fortunate to be accepted to all. My children were in the gifted program. The gifted teachers are excellent, particularly Mrs. Aulow. The regular teachers were also terrific as this is not an all gifted program. The school does not overlook the specialty areas either, Mr. Walker the music teacher and Mrs. Chirino, the art teacher motivate and encourage the kids to achieve their potential. Mrs. Melendez the VP knows her students and loves them as her own. We were sorry to see Mr. Diaz, the principal, leave last year but Ms. Gonzalez, the new principal, is doing a great job thus far. One of the best schools, if not the best, in Miami Dade County. Close Quote
