Summary:
Zip code 33126 in Miami, Florida, is home to four schools within the highly-rated Miami-Dade school district, serving elementary and middle school students with no high school options in the immediate area.
The standout performer in this area is Charles R Hadley Elementary School, which is the only school to earn a 3-star rating and has shown strong improvement, jumping to the 65th percentile in state rankings. It excels particularly in math, with 86% of 4th graders proficient compared to 62% statewide, and benefits from the highest spending per student ($15,231) and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (17.4%). In contrast, Kinloch Park Middle School presents a paradox: while its overall ranking is low (14th percentile), it achieves remarkable success in advanced coursework, with 92% proficiency in Geometry and 95% in Biology 1, far exceeding district and state averages. However, its general education program struggles, with 8th-grade science proficiency at just 19%, and it has the highest student-to-teacher ratio (21.3) and lowest spending ($11,076) in the zip code.
Among the elementary schools, Henry M. Flagler Elementary School shows a clear upward trend in its state ranking (from 24th to 35th percentile) and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (19.4%) than the district average, while Kinloch Park Elementary School remains stagnant at the bottom (21st percentile) with a higher absenteeism rate (28.5%). Chronic absenteeism emerges as a key differentiator, with the higher-performing schools having rates significantly below the district average of 28.2%. The absence of a high school means families must plan for students to leave the area after 8th grade, a critical factor for long-term residency decisions.
