Summary:
The city of North Miami Beach, Florida is home to 10 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The schools in this diverse district display a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions like John F. Kennedy Middle School and Madie Ives K-8 Preparatory Academy ranking among the top schools in the state, while others like C.G. Bethel High School struggle with low proficiency rates.
The data reveals stark contrasts in school performance within the Miami-Dade district, with the highest-performing schools boasting impressive test scores and graduation rates, while the lowest-performing schools face significant challenges with chronic absenteeism and low academic achievement. The disparities in funding, with per-student spending ranging from $7,350 to $14,500, likely contribute to these inequities in educational opportunities.
Despite the challenges, the district does have several bright spots, including North Miami Beach Senior High, which stands out for its exceptional 95.8% 4-year graduation rate, and the charter schools Sports Leadership And Management (Slam) Middle School - Nort and Slam Academy High School North Campus, which demonstrate the potential for innovative approaches to improve student outcomes.
