Summary:
Zip code 33122 is home to a single school, Renaissance Middle Charter School, a middle school serving grades 5 through 8 with 391 students in the Miami-Dade district, which ranks 20th out of 70 districts in Florida.
Renaissance Middle Charter School presents a mixed picture of academic performance. The school is a standout in advanced coursework, achieving 100% proficiency in Biology 1 and 87% in Geometry, both well above district and state averages. However, it struggles significantly with its youngest students: 5th-grade science proficiency was just 16% and math only 11% in the 2024-2025 school year, far below district averages. The school also shows inconsistent year-over-year results, with Algebra 1 proficiency dropping from 92% to 70% between the last two school years. Chronic absenteeism is a critical concern at 35.0%, higher than both the district (28.2%) and state (31.4%) averages. The school spends $14,195 per student, a significant investment that appears to yield strong results in advanced subjects but fails to address foundational learning gaps and attendance issues.
Overall, Renaissance Middle Charter School is a high-performing school for students in advanced STEM and civics courses, but it faces major challenges with incoming 5th graders who are often far behind grade level. The school has maintained a stable 3-star state ranking over the past three years, though its percentile rank dipped slightly to the 56th percentile in the most recent year. For parents, this school offers excellent opportunities for students ready for advanced coursework, but may require additional support for younger students or those struggling with foundational skills, especially given the high chronic absenteeism rate.
