Summary:
Zip code 33166, encompassing Doral and Miami Springs, Florida, is home to eight schools within the Miami-Dade County Public School District, serving elementary through high school grades with a stark contrast in performance and resources.
The standout schools in this area are the charter and magnet institutions. Integrated Science And Asian Culture (Isaac) Academy is the highest-ranked elementary school in the zip code, achieving near-perfect proficiency rates (95% in 3rd-grade ELA and Math) and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at just 6.9%. Downtown Doral Charter Elementary School and Downtown Doral Charter Upper School both hold 5-star ratings, with the upper school boasting a 100% graduation rate and exceptional high school proficiency (88% in 10th-grade ELA). In contrast, the Miami Springs public schools face significant challenges. Miami Springs Senior High School has a 1-star rating with low academic proficiency (41% in Algebra 1) despite a high 98.1% graduation rate, while Miami Springs Middle School shows a dramatic academic decline, with only 35% of 6th graders proficient in ELA.
Key metrics reveal a paradox: Miami Springs Elementary School spends the most per student ($20,953) but ranks in the 69th percentile, while Downtown Doral Charter Upper School spends only $8,748 per student and achieves top-tier results. Chronic absenteeism is a critical warning sign, with Downtown Doral Charter Upper School at a staggering 53.7%—an outlier even among struggling schools like Miami Springs Senior High (40.2%). This data suggests that while some schools excel through strong curriculum and family engagement, others may be moving students through the system without ensuring college or career readiness, highlighting a tale of two distinct educational experiences within a single zip code.
