Summary:

The 11 public schools in zip code 33157, serving elementary through high school students in the Miami/Palmetto Bay/Cutler Bay area, are part of the Miami-Dade district and reveal a clear geographic and performance divide. The northern "Palmetto Bay Cluster" features standout schools like Coral Reef Senior High School (94th percentile, 100% graduation rate), Southwood Middle School (85th-86th percentile), and Coral Reef Elementary School (91st-93rd percentile), which form a high-performing educational ecosystem with low poverty rates and chronic absenteeism. In contrast, southern schools like Robert Russa Moton Elementary School (10th-30th percentile) and Miami Southridge Senior High (29th-35th percentile) struggle with high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism exceeding 40%.

Key metrics show a stark inverse relationship between poverty and performance. High-performing schools have free/reduced lunch rates around 27-31%, while lower-performing schools like Pine Lake Elementary School (69.9%) and Robert Russa Moton (86.3%) face much higher rates. Notably, higher spending does not guarantee better outcomes—Robert Russa Moton spends $22,696 per student (the highest) yet achieves the lowest results, while Coral Reef High spends just $9,412 per student. Chronic absenteeism is a critical differentiator, with rates ranging from 11.9% at Coral Reef High to 44.1% at Robert Russa Moton.

Interesting findings include Cutler Bay Middle's paradox of strong advanced coursework scores (85-100% proficient) despite a 33rd percentile overall ranking, and Whispering Pines Elementary School's volatile ranking swings from 85th to 92nd to 82nd percentile. Johnnie M Parris Colonial Drive Elementary School shows strong improvement, rising from 53rd to 74th percentile, while Bel-Aire Elementary School jumped from 40th to 62nd percentile. Dr. Henry E. Perrine Academy Of The Arts rounds out the elementary options, and Southwood Middle's 7th-grade math slump (23% proficiency) remains a notable weakness in an otherwise excellent school.
