Summary

Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy is a public K-8 school in Doral, FL, serving 580 students within the Miami-Dade school district, and it stands out as a school with two distinct academic personalities: it is a powerhouse for middle school students but faces challenges in its early elementary grades.

This school truly shines in grades 6-8, where it dramatically outperforms nearby schools. For example, 7th-grade math proficiency reached 92% in 2025-2026, far exceeding the district average of 58% and nearby schools like Dr. Rolando Espinosa K-8 Center (42%) and John I. Smith K-8 Center (60%). Similarly, 7th-grade ELA scored 86%, well above the district (67%) and state (62%). The school also achieves exceptional results in Civics, with a 94% proficiency rate on the end-of-course exam. These strong outcomes are supported by a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.8:1, which is much smaller than many peers like Ernest R. Graham K-8 Academy (19.7:1) and Academir Charter School East At Doral (17.8:1).

However, the picture is very different in the early grades. In 2025-2026, 3rd-grade math (43%) and ELA (35%) proficiency rates were significantly below district and state averages, a critical area for improvement. The school also faces a growing challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 22.5% in 2023-2024. Interestingly, the school’s closest neighbor, Dr. Rolando Espinosa K-8 Center, shows the opposite pattern—strong early elementary scores but weaker middle school performance—suggesting very different instructional approaches. For parents, Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy offers an exceptional middle school experience with small classes and strong academics, but it is important to be aware of the early-grade struggles and the need for extra support in those foundational years.
