In zip code 33145, there is a single elementary school, Coral Way K-8 Center, a public K-8 school in the Miami-Dade school district serving 1,038 students in the Miami area.
Coral Way K-8 Center is a standout school with a 4-star rating and a 74th percentile statewide ranking for the 2025-2026 school year. The school excels in elementary grades, with 87% of 4th graders proficient in math and 80% of 5th graders proficient in science—both significantly higher than district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is notably low at 17%, compared to 28.2% for the district and 31.4% for the state, indicating strong student engagement. The school also shows exceptional performance in advanced math, with 87% proficiency in Algebra 1, far exceeding the state average of 63%.
However, there is a clear performance gap between elementary and middle school grades. While elementary students consistently outperform averages, middle school math proficiency drops below district levels, with only 41% of 7th graders proficient in math versus 58% district-wide. Year-over-year results are mixed; for example, 3rd grade ELA jumped from 58% to 68% proficiency, but 4th grade math fell from 80% to 72%. Despite moderate per-student spending of $12,758, the school achieves top-tier results in early grades, suggesting efficient resource use. This creates a "bimodal" pattern where advanced students thrive, but average middle schoolers may need additional support.
