Summary

Academir Charter School Middle is a public charter school in Miami, FL, serving 299 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Miami-Dade school district. This school stands out for achieving strong academic results despite serving a student body where nearly 80% qualify for free or reduced lunch, a higher rate than nearby schools like Glades Middle School (45%) and Arvida Middle School (39%). Academir has earned a 4-star rating for three consecutive years and ranks in the 77th percentile statewide, showing consistent improvement after a post-pandemic dip.

Academir’s math performance is exceptional, especially in advanced courses. In Algebra 1, the school has achieved 97-100% proficiency over the last four years, far outpacing the district (69%) and state (63%). Geometry scores have been perfect at 100% for three years running. Even in standard FAST Math, 6th graders scored 90% proficient in 2025-2026, compared to the district’s 67%. This is a clear advantage over Howard D. McMillan Middle School, where 8th-grade math proficiency was only 38%. English Language Arts performance is also strong, with 8th graders reaching 79% proficiency versus the district’s 65%, outperforming schools like W. R. Thomas Middle School (49%).

However, the school has notable weaknesses. Eighth-grade science scores are a persistent concern, with only 24% proficient in 2025-2026, well below the district (49%) and state (52%) averages, and far behind Archimedean Middle Conservatory (93%). There is also a sharp drop in math proficiency between 6th and 7th grade, with a 40-point decline in 2025-2026. Chronic absenteeism, at 21.5%, is higher than top-performing peers like Archimedean (9.0%). Despite these challenges, Academir achieves top-tier results with a budget of $10,620 per student—significantly less than Riviera Middle School ($16,225) and Paul W. Bell Middle School ($14,998)—demonstrating remarkable efficiency in closing achievement gaps.

What people are saying

Teachers “forget” to put in your grades, leaving you a bad grade until they find the work you turned in. There was a fire going on at the school and they tried to convince everyone that there was nothing happening, despite the smoke leaking out of the cafeteria. Oh, not to mention they DIDN’T HELP THE STUDENTS LEAVE! THE STUDENTS WALKED TO THE 7/11 BY THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE TEACHERS DIDN’T BOTHER TO HELP THEM LEAVE. THEY DIDN’T SHOW UP UNTIL 10-25 MINUTES AFTER THE FIRE BROKE OUT. I know all this because I was a student this year and will now be transferring. Never again will I attend. Close Quote
