Summary

Academir Preparatory Of Championsgate is a small elementary school (K-5) in Miami, FL, serving 366 students, and it is part of the Osceola school district, which is ranked in the bottom 19% of Florida districts. This school has shown a remarkable academic turnaround, with test scores jumping dramatically between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years—for example, 5th grade science proficiency rose from 29% to 57%, and 5th grade ELA and math both increased by about 26 to 29 percentage points. However, this progress is tempered by a severe chronic absenteeism rate of 44.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is more than double the rate at nearby Dr. Manuel C. Barreiro Elementary School (12.8%) and significantly higher than the state average.

One of the most important things to know is that while Academir Preparatory is physically located in Miami, it belongs to the lower-performing Osceola district, not the higher-performing Miami-Dade district. This means that when compared to nearby schools within a 2-mile radius—all of which are in Miami-Dade—Academir is the lowest-performing option by a wide margin. For instance, in 5th grade math, Academir achieved 57% proficiency, while Dr. Manuel C. Barreiro Elementary (0.46 miles away) reached 94% and Pinecrest Preparatory Academy (1.64 miles away) hit 92%. This creates an "island" effect where the school outperforms its own district average but lags far behind its immediate neighbors.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Academir achieved an impressive 75% proficiency in 6th grade math, which is higher than the state average and several nearby K-8 schools like Jane S. Roberts K-8 Center (73%). Additionally, the school's sister campus, Academir Charter School West, located just 2 miles away in the Miami-Dade district, is a top performer (95th percentile), showing that the "Academir" brand can achieve excellence with different resources. The school also spends significantly less per student ($7,420) compared to nearby schools, which may contribute to its struggles. For parents, Academir Preparatory represents a school with strong recent academic gains but one that faces systemic hurdles, especially with attendance and district resources.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, October 1, 2025

Worst school ever. I had to transfer out both of my kids within four months. My daughter had regressed drastically in just those four months. No homework was ever given and she had a revolving door of substitute teachers in that short period of time. She would sit in class and do absolutely nothing because the substitutes would not follow a curriculum. She would come home with word puzzles and coloring pages. I got a report card saying straight A’s and I don’t know based on what because they never taught her anything. This is a new school that shouldn’t have opened until they were ready because being short staffed is not an excuse for a child’s education. If that’s the case, close the school until you’re ready. Our children are not experiments or risks to take to see if it will work out. They couldn’t even hold a principal for a full year. This school is nothing like the Miami Doral one. The only good teacher there was Ms. Garcia who was teaching first grade. But third grade was awful. One of the most important years and they simply couldn’t figure it out for the kids. I’m so disappointed I ever placed them here. However, I’m glad I transferred them to a better school. Close Quote
