Summary

Academir Charter School Preparatory is a K-8 charter school in Miami, FL, serving 1,172 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it stands out for its exceptional performance in advanced high school courses and early elementary grades, despite serving a high-poverty population where 79-82% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school is a powerhouse when it comes to preparing students for high school-level work. Its students taking End-of-Course (EOC) exams consistently dominate the competition: 90% were proficient in Geometry, 95% in Biology 1, and 93% in Algebra 1—all far exceeding district and state averages. In early elementary, the foundation is equally strong, with 83% of 3rd graders proficient in Math and 80% of 5th graders proficient in Science, a 20-point lead over the district. However, the school faces a significant "middle school slump." In 6th grade, only 38% of students were proficient in Math (compared to 67% district-wide), and 8th grade Science proficiency dropped to 35%, a stark contrast to the stellar 5th grade scores. This suggests the school excels at accelerating top students into advanced tracks but may struggle to support the broader middle school cohort in core subjects.

Academir Prep is also a model of cost-effective education, spending just $11,296 per student—thousands less than nearby schools like Pine Villa Elementary School ($24,452) and Pine Lake Elementary School ($18,434)—while achieving higher overall rankings. Its chronic absenteeism rate (25.6%) is better than the district average. For parents seeking a long-term K-8 option, Academir Prep offers a unique advantage over its closest rival, Somerset Academy (a K-5 school), by retaining students through middle school and providing advanced high school coursework. While Somerset outperforms Academir in K-5 subjects, Academir's ability to offer a seamless path to high school-level classes is a major selling point for families looking for a single, cost-effective school through 8th grade.
