Summary

Pinecrest Academy Avalon is a K-5 elementary school in Miami, FL, serving 498 students as part of the Orange school district, and it stands out for achieving top-tier academic results with notably lower spending per student than many high-performing neighbors.

This school is a high-value choice for families, consistently earning 4 or 5 stars from Schooldigger and ranking in the 88th to 98th percentile statewide over the past six years. In 2024-2025, it spent just $8,232 per student, significantly less than nearby Somerset Academy Elementary School (South Miami Campus) ($11,758) and Sunset Elementary School ($12,155). However, this efficiency comes with larger class sizes—a student-to-teacher ratio of 19.9:1, compared to 15.8:1 at Somerset and 15.2:1 at Sunset. Math is a clear strength, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates (89% and 88%) rivaling elite schools, but 5th-grade science (67%) lags behind Sunset (93%) and Somerset (81%). A recent dip to the 88th percentile in 2025-2026, down from a peak of 98th, suggests Pinecrest may face new challenges, while rivals like Sunset and Somerset have held steady in the 99th-100th percentile.

Chronic absenteeism at 14.2% is an area for improvement—far better than the district (35.2%) and state (31.4%) averages, but higher than Sunset (6.5%) and Somerset (3.8%). The school serves a moderately diverse population, with about 33% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, placing it between more affluent schools like Sunset (6.6%) and higher-poverty ones like nearby Ludlam Elementary School (50.4%). Notably, Pinecrest Academy Avalon shares an address with several other charter schools, creating an "education mall" environment, but the "Pinecrest" brand is inconsistent—Pinecrest Academy Four Corners ranks in the 37th percentile, making Avalon the standout in its network.
