Summary

Andover Middle School in Miami, FL, is a public school serving 379 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Miami-Dade district, with 57% of students from low-income families. This school presents a fascinating contrast: it excels in advanced science and math courses, yet struggles with grade-level proficiency in core subjects like Math and English Language Arts (ELA). For instance, in the 2025-2026 school year, 92% of students were proficient in Biology, and 72% were proficient in Algebra 1, but only 39% were proficient in 7th-grade Math and 44% in 8th-grade ELA. This "two-speed" pattern suggests that while a select group of students is exceptionally well-prepared for high school credit exams, the majority are not mastering grade-level material.

Despite spending $15,567 per student—the highest among nearby schools—Andover's overall academic performance lags behind peers like Highland Oaks Middle School, which spends less ($11,383) but achieves higher proficiency in grade-level Math and ELA. For example, 6th-grade ELA proficiency at Highland Oaks is 70% compared to Andover's 52%. This disparity, along with a chronic absenteeism rate of 28.3% (2023-2024), indicates that funding alone isn't the issue; factors like instructional quality and attendance likely play a significant role. Andover's state ranking has also taken a sharp decline, dropping from the 36th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026, a concerning trend after years of slow improvement.

On a positive note, Andover's performance in advanced courses is remarkable. In Geometry, 75% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, far exceeding the district (58%) and state (55%) averages. This strength is shared by nearby schools like North Miami Middle School, which also achieved 100% Biology proficiency in 2024-2025. However, Andover's challenges with grade-level Math and ELA, combined with high absenteeism, suggest that the school needs to focus on supporting all students, not just those in advanced tracks. For parents, this means Andover can be a great fit for students ready for accelerated coursework, but may require extra attention for those needing help with foundational skills.
