Best Public Schools in Perrine, FL

Summary:

The city of Perrine, Florida has only one public elementary school, Robert Russa Moton Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently performed poorly on statewide assessments and rankings, ranking in the bottom quartile of Florida elementary schools over the past three years and receiving low 1 or 0 out of 5 star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Robert Russa Moton Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly below the Miami-Dade district and Florida state averages across all grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was just 34% in 2023-2024, compared to 56% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 46.1%, much higher than the state average.

Socioeconomic factors likely play a significant role in the school's persistent low performance. Robert Russa Moton Elementary School has a student population that is predominantly African American (83.05%) and has a very high percentage (82.49%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-poverty student population. Despite the school's high spending per student of $23,728, which is above the state average, the large achievement gaps between the school and district/state averages suggest that the school may be struggling to provide equitable educational opportunities for its students.
