Summary

Excelsior Prep Charter School Of Hialeah is a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Hialeah, Florida, with 302 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22nd out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Excelsior Prep has struggled academically, ranking in the bottom 15% of Florida elementary schools for the past several years.

One of the key issues at Excelsior Prep is its consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 37.7% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores lag behind the district and state averages across nearly all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025 projected scores, only 29% of 5th graders at Excelsior Prep are proficient in science, compared to 56% in the district and 55% statewide. The school also has a very high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.88% to 87.75% over the past few years, which is much higher than the surrounding Flamingo Elementary School, Broadmoor Elementary School, and other nearby schools.

Despite the higher spending per student at Excelsior Prep, ranging from $10,712 to $12,287, the school is not achieving strong academic outcomes. This raises questions about how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning. Addressing the chronic absenteeism, improving academic performance, and considering the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school will be crucial for Excelsior Prep to provide a high-quality learning environment for its students.

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
