Summary:
In zip code 33031, there is one elementary school, Redland Elementary School, serving grades PK through 5 in Homestead, Florida, as part of the Miami-Dade school district.
Redland Elementary School is a large school with 974 students and a student-teacher ratio of 19:1. The school shows a clear strength in mathematics, with all tested grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th) scoring above the state average in the most recent school year. For example, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 71%, outperforming both the district (67%) and state (62%) averages. However, the school faces a significant challenge in English Language Arts (ELA), particularly in 4th grade, where proficiency dropped to 44%—20 percentage points below the district average. Science performance in 5th grade (54%) also lags behind district and state averages. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5%, slightly above the district average, and 59% of students are economically disadvantaged.
Despite these challenges, Redland Elementary School is on a positive trajectory, showing significant year-over-year improvement in test scores across most subjects and grades from the 2024-2025 to the 2025-2026 school year. This improvement is reflected in its state ranking, which jumped from the 32nd percentile to the 49th percentile. The school spends $11,409 per student, which is a substantial investment, and this appears to be yielding results in math, though the persistent 4th-grade ELA slump and below-average science scores indicate areas that still need attention. Overall, the school is a strong option for families prioritizing math education, but parents should be aware of the specific grade-level challenges in reading and science.
