Summary:

The three public elementary schools in Miami's 33144 zip code—Seminole Elementary School, Flagami Elementary School, and Fairlawn Elementary School—serve grades PK through 5 within the Miami-Dade school district, a 4-star district ranked in the 71st percentile statewide. Seminole Elementary School is the clear standout, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 90th percentile (232nd out of 2,240 schools) for the 2025-2026 school year. Its academic performance is exceptional, with average math proficiency at 87.3% and English Language Arts at 74.0%, both well above district and state averages. In contrast, Flagami Elementary School (62nd percentile, 3-star) and Fairlawn Elementary School (53rd percentile, 3-star) trail significantly, though all three schools share similar economic demographics, with 48-56% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

Key metrics reveal interesting contrasts. Flagami Elementary School spends the most per student ($16,655) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (14.6:1), yet it underperforms Seminole Elementary School, which spends $13,828 per student with a 15.3:1 ratio. This suggests that higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes. Fairlawn Elementary School is the most improved school, climbing from the 36th percentile (2-star) in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile (3-star) in 2025-2026—a remarkable 17-percentile-point gain. All three schools boast exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rates (11.1% to 16.4%), far below the district average of 28.2%, indicating strong family engagement in the community.

Notably, math is a clear strength for Seminole Elementary School and Flagami Elementary School, with 3rd and 4th graders scoring 85-89% proficient, well above district and state averages. However, Flagami Elementary School struggles in 5th-grade science (55% proficient) compared to Seminole Elementary School (77%) and Fairlawn Elementary School (71%). For parents, Seminole Elementary School is the top choice for academic excellence, while Fairlawn Elementary School offers a promising upward trajectory, and Flagami Elementary School provides the smallest class sizes and highest per-student investment.
