Summary

Youth County-Op Charter School in Hialeah, FL, is a K-8 school serving 761 students within the Miami-Dade district, where 77.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This school stands out for its exceptional performance in high school-level courses, with 100% of students proficient in Biology 1 and 93% in Algebra 1—far exceeding district and state averages. However, it faces a significant challenge in 8th grade science, where only 31% of students are proficient, compared to 49% in the district and 52% statewide. This stark contrast highlights a "middle school slump" that is more pronounced here than at nearby schools like Bob Graham Education Center, which maintains stronger middle school scores overall.

Despite operating on a low budget of $9,381 per student—much less than neighboring schools like Palm Lakes Elementary ($11,350) and Marcus A. Milam K-8 Center ($15,176)—Youth County-Op achieves a state ranking (53rd percentile) that surpasses several better-funded peers. For example, Palm Lakes Elementary (50.5% poverty) ranks at the 37th percentile, while Marcus A. Milam K-8 Center (55.2% poverty) ranks at the 22nd percentile. This suggests the school is effectively using its resources to help students overcome economic challenges, particularly in elementary grades and advanced coursework. However, the high student-teacher ratio of 17.6:1 may contribute to the drop in performance as students move to middle school.

Chronic absenteeism is a growing concern, rising from 6.4% in 2020-2021 to 27.5% in 2023-2024, though it remains slightly below district and state averages. When compared to its closest rival, Bob Graham Education Center (74th percentile, 40.5% poverty), Youth County-Op competes well in specific subjects like 7th grade math (64% vs. 53%) but falls behind in 8th grade, where Bob Graham scores 75% in ELA and 88% in math versus Youth County-Op's 63% and 36%. This pattern underscores the need for targeted support in middle school science and math to sustain the strong foundation built in elementary grades.
