Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center is a high-performing school that consistently outperforms the district and state averages in academic performance. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 98% proficiency in Algebra 1, 100% proficiency in Geometry and Biology 1, and 96% proficiency in Civics, compared to 66%, 58%, 74%, and 74% respectively for the Miami-Dade district. The school has been ranked among the top elementary schools in Florida, with a ranking of 211 out of 2,258 schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's strong academic performance is likely due to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.5 and higher-than-average spending per student of $11,130. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 31.4% may be an area of concern that the school and district should address. Additionally, the school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 26.51% suggests that it may serve a more affluent student population, which could raise questions about equitable access and the distribution of resources across the district.
