Summary

Academir Charter School West is a high-performing K-8 school in Miami, FL, serving 695 students within the Miami-Dade district, and it consistently ranks among the top 5-6% of all elementary schools in Florida.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic results and remarkable efficiency. It earned a 5-star rating and ranked 106th out of 2,240 Florida elementary schools, outperforming nearby traditional public schools like Jane S. Roberts K-8 Center and Joe Hall Elementary School. What makes this even more impressive is that it achieves these results while spending significantly less per student ($11,391) compared to schools like Bent Tree Elementary School ($22,412). The school also boasts a very low chronic absenteeism rate of just 15.2%, far better than the district average of 28.2% and many nearby schools, which likely contributes to its strong academic culture.

For families with older students, the middle school program (grades 6-8) is a major advantage, with proficiency rates in subjects like 7th-grade English Language Arts (98%) and 8th-grade Math (89%) far exceeding state averages. While the school’s performance is consistently excellent, a minor area to note is 7th-grade Math proficiency (77%), which, though still well above the state average, is slightly lower than its other sky-high scores. It is also important to know that the "Academir" name does not guarantee the same quality everywhere, as Academir Preparatory Of Championsgate in the Osceola district has very different outcomes. Overall, Academir Charter School West offers a proven track record of academic excellence and efficient resource use.
