Summary

Phoenix Academy Of Excellence North is a small public middle school in Miami, FL, serving just 45 students in grades 6-8 within the Miami-Dade school district. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 1% of Florida middle schools for the past four years, earning a 0-star rating, and faces severe challenges that set it apart from nearby schools.

The most critical issue is catastrophic chronic absenteeism, with 73.8% of students missing significant school time in 2023-2024—far exceeding the district average of 28.2% and state average of 31.4%. This rate has remained above 50% for five years, making it the primary driver of academic struggles. The school also serves a student body with 100% free/reduced lunch eligibility, reflecting extreme economic disadvantage. Academic proficiency rates are drastically low: 0% in 8th grade science, 13% in 7th grade ELA, and 8% in 8th grade ELA, compared to district averages of 49-67%. In contrast, nearby Mater Biscayne Academy achieves 80-90% proficiency in the same subjects. The school also offers no advanced high school credit courses, unlike all other nearby middle schools.

Interestingly, the school's "sister school," Phoenix Academy Of Excellence, shares the same 0-star rating, 100% poverty rate, and extreme absenteeism (86.5%), suggesting systemic issues within the model. Despite spending $9,949 per student—less than many nearby traditional public schools—the school fails to leverage its small size for personalized support. A rare bright spot is 8th grade math proficiency at 44%, though this may be an anomaly due to the tiny student population. Without radical intervention to address attendance and family support, the school will likely remain one of the lowest-performing in the state.
