Auburndale Elementary School

Summary:

Auburndale Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 706 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Auburndale Elementary faces significant challenges, including a student population that is 95.75% Hispanic, much higher than the 80-97% range of nearby schools like Silver Bluff Elementary School and Mater Grove Academy. The school also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 23.8% to 38.2%, compared to 9.5% to 30.4% at nearby schools. Auburndale's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages.

Additionally, Auburndale has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 59.63% to 87.18%, significantly higher than the 16.21% to 71.66% range of nearby schools. Despite spending more per student ($15,385 in 2022-2023) compared to the $8,839 to $14,511 range of nearby schools, Auburndale has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. These factors suggest the school is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students and may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and focus on evidence-based strategies to improve student outcomes.

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.
