Miramar Elementary School

Q: Is Miramar Elementary School a good school?

Miramar Elementary School ranks 1045 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Miramar Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 445 students in grades PK-5 in Miramar, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district. While the school has seen some recent improvements, it faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, lower test scores compared to the district and state averages, and a student population that is predominantly African American.

One key differentiator for Miramar Elementary is its racial makeup, with 68.31% of students being African American, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 21.87% to 79.29% African American. This suggests the need to examine any potential racial achievement gaps and ensure equitable educational opportunities. Additionally, Miramar Elementary has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 35.0% in recent years, which is notably higher than the nearby schools, such as West Hollywood Elementary, Watkins Elementary, and Hollywood Park Elementary.

While Miramar Elementary's test scores still lag behind the Broward County and Florida state averages, the school has shown some improvement in recent years, particularly in math proficiency. The district has also allocated additional resources to the school, with per-student spending increasing from $9,288 in 2019-2020 to $14,529 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools. By addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and continuing to invest in effective strategies, Miramar Elementary has the potential to build on its recent progress and provide a high-quality education for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
