Johnnie M Parris Colonial Drive Elementary School

Summary:

Colonial Drive Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 284 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.

Colonial Drive Elementary School stands out from its nearby peers, such as Coral Reef Elementary School and Dr. Henry E. Perrine Academy Of The Arts, with its significantly higher percentage of African American (38.38%) and Hispanic (58.45%) students. The school also faces challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.6% in 2019-2020 to 29.3% in 2022-2023, and lower test scores in English Language Arts and Math compared to the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages.

Despite these challenges, Colonial Drive Elementary School has a relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $13,293 in 2020-2021 to $18,020 in 2021-2022, which is higher than some of the nearby schools. This suggests that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from its higher-performing peers and implement strategies to improve student learning and engagement, particularly in addressing the underlying socioeconomic factors that may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.

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.
