Summary

Sports Leadership And Management Charter School Middle School in Miami, FL (zip code 33136) serves 893 students in grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Miami-Dade district, which ranks 20th out of 70 districts in Florida.

This school presents a unique "split personality" in its academic performance. On one hand, it excels in advanced coursework, with 70% of students proficient in Algebra 1 and 83% in Biology 1—outperforming both the district and state averages. On the other hand, it struggles significantly with core subjects, as only 45% of 6th graders are proficient in English Language Arts and 44% in Math, compared to 67% district proficiency in both. This gap is the largest among nearby schools, suggesting resources may be concentrated on high-achieving students in advanced classes while the general student body is left behind. The most pressing concern is the student-to-teacher ratio, which spiked to an alarming 81.1:1 in 2024-2025—nearly four times higher than nearby Mater Lakes Collegiate Academy Middle School (36.8:1) and over five times higher than traditional public middle schools in the area (average 19:1). This ratio likely explains the poor FAST scores and raises questions about the school's financial management, as it spends only $9,875 per student—lower than most nearby traditional public schools like Jose De Diego Middle School ($14,281).

Historically a 2-star institution, the school has shown slight improvement from a low point in 2020-2021 (1 star, 25th percentile) to its current 33rd percentile ranking. Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically from 34.8% in 2020-2021 to 22.0% in 2023-2024, now better than the district average (28.2%). However, the school remains the lowest-ranked charter school in its vicinity, surrounded by high-performing options like International Studies Charter Middle School (94th percentile, 5 stars) and Mater Brickell Academy Middle (86th percentile, 4 stars), both with much lower student-to-teacher ratios (15.2:1 and 18.1:1, respectively). For parents, this school offers strong advanced course preparation but struggles with foundational academics and faces a staffing crisis that needs urgent attention.
