Summary:
The city of Florida City, Florida is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. These schools serve a predominantly Hispanic and African American student population, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. While the schools generally underperform compared to the Miami-Dade district and the state of Florida, a few standout schools demonstrate that high-performing institutions can exist in this area.
Lincoln-Marti Schools International Campus is the highest-ranked school in the data set, with strong test scores and a relatively low student-teacher ratio. Similarly, Charter High School Of The Americas (Florida City Campus) is a small high school with impressive test scores and a very low chronic absenteeism rate. These schools suggest that targeted interventions and support can help address the academic and socioeconomic challenges faced by the Florida City schools.
However, the majority of the schools in the data set face significant challenges, with high chronic absenteeism rates and consistently lower test scores compared to the district and state averages. The only high school with graduation rate data, Miami Community Charter High School, had a 76.7% four-year graduation rate, indicating room for improvement. Overall, the data highlights the need for continued efforts to support and improve the educational outcomes for students in the Florida City area.
