The school has shown strong academic performance, with higher proficiency rates compared to the Miami-Dade and Florida averages in several subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had 68% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA, 73% in 4th grade ELA, and 79% in 4th grade Math, all of which were higher than the district and state averages. However, the school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 21.7% in 2023-2024 to 31.4% in 2023-2024, which is significantly higher than the state average.
