Earlington Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Earlington Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 340 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Earlington Heights stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (56.76%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 2.46% to 90.89% African American. The school also faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (24.5% to 53.8%) and lower test scores than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 30%, compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida. Additionally, Earlington Heights has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.47% to 97.99%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending at Earlington Heights, ranging from $14,277 to $22,729 over the past few years, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and the need for a more targeted approach to improving student outcomes. Addressing the unique challenges faced by Earlington Heights, including any underlying racial inequities or biases, will be crucial in supporting the success of its diverse student community.

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.
