Summary

Excelsior Prep Charter School Of Hialeah is a K-8 charter school in Hialeah, FL, serving 287 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it serves a highly economically disadvantaged population with 95.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a unique "tale of two schools" in its academic performance. On one hand, its middle school students achieve exceptional results on End-of-Course exams, with 100% proficiency in Biology 1 and 92% in Geometry, far exceeding district averages. However, elementary-level FAST and Science scores are critically low, with only 24% of 4th graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to the district's 64%. This stark contrast suggests the school excels at preparing a select group of students for advanced coursework but struggles to build foundational skills in the lower grades. The most dramatic positive trend is in middle school math, where 8th-grade proficiency soared from 44% in 2022-2023 to 88% in 2024-2025, indicating a successful intervention in the upper grades.

The school's biggest challenge is chronic absenteeism, with 37.7% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024—the highest rate among all nearby schools and far above the district average of 28.2%. For comparison, the nearby Integrated Science And Asian Culture (Isaac) Academy, just 1.04 miles away, has a chronic absenteeism rate of only 6.9% and is ranked in the 98th percentile (5 stars), while Excelsior Prep ranks in the 15th percentile (1 star). This contrast highlights how school culture and attendance patterns can create vastly different outcomes for schools in the same area. The school's spending of $13,945 per student is lower than several nearby schools, including Miami Springs Elementary ($20,953) and Springview Elementary ($16,924), suggesting a potential resource gap given the extreme needs of its student population.

My kids have attened the school for 3 yrs. During these yrs. Curriculum is very poor, and they don't keep to there dress code. Kids with pants bellow waist showing underwares. They made a school shirt for field trip and for friday use. On fridays kids pay a dollor to wear shirt and this shirt is to be used also for field trips. One in the whole year! Not fare to charge for the use of this shirt. Teachers are not enthusiastic nor seem too knowledgeable in the subject being taught. I will not be returning next yr. Close Quote
