Summary

Phoenix Academy Of Excellence is a public charter middle school in Miami, Florida that serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 20 students. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 22 out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its small size, Phoenix Academy Of Excellence has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing middle schools in Florida, with proficiency rates on state assessments that are significantly below the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 10% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA and 25% were proficient in Math, compared to 60% and 60% respectively for the Miami-Dade district. The school has also struggled with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.2% to 86.5% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

Comparing Phoenix Academy Of Excellence to nearby schools, such as Mater International Preparatory, Hialeah Middle School, and Georgia Jones Ayers Middle School, highlights the significant disparities in educational outcomes. These nearby schools generally outperform Phoenix Academy Of Excellence on academic measures and have lower chronic absenteeism rates. The combination of high poverty, high chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement suggests that Phoenix Academy Of Excellence may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
