Summary

Miami Community Charter School is a K-5 elementary school in Florida City, FL, serving 545 students within the Miami-Dade school district, where a very high percentage of families (89%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

A standout finding is that the school’s 3rd graders are actually outperforming both the district and state averages in English Language Arts (66% proficient), which is a genuine bright spot. However, this success does not carry forward: proficiency drops sharply to 37% in 4th grade and 41% in 5th grade, and math scores follow a similar downward trend. This pattern is much more severe than at nearby Somerset Arts Academy, which maintains high scores across all elementary grades. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism (31.6%) and consistently low science scores, which have remained far below state averages for years.

Interestingly, the school’s challenges are not simply due to poverty or lack of funding. Just two miles away, Somerset Academy Charter Elementary School (South Homestead) serves a similar high-poverty population but achieves much higher proficiency rates (20-30 percentage points higher) and a 4-star rating. Miami Community Charter actually spends more per student ($12,049) than Somerset Academy ($8,699), suggesting that how resources are used matters more than the amount spent. For parents, the key takeaway is that while the school has a clear strength in early reading, it faces significant hurdles in maintaining academic growth through the upper elementary years, and addressing chronic absenteeism will be critical for improvement.
