Summary:
The city of North Bay Village, Florida has only one public school, Treasure Island Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates in math and English Language Arts falling below the district and state averages. Despite having relatively favorable funding and staffing levels, the school faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with nearly 60% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Treasure Island Elementary School's diverse student population is predominantly Hispanic (82.21%), with smaller percentages of White (12.53%) and African American (4.26%) students. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates ranging from 29% to 46% in math and 36% to 45% in English Language Arts, compared to the Miami-Dade district averages of 59%-65% in math and 55%-56% in ELA. The school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 40% is also lower than the district and state averages of 53%.
The declining performance of Treasure Island Elementary School, as evidenced by its dropping statewide ranking from 979 out of 2,219 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,823 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, is a concerning trend. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.7 and spends $15,859 per student, which is higher than the state average, the underlying factors contributing to the academic struggles remain unclear and warrant further investigation.
