Edison Park K-8 Center

Summary:

Edison Park K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 437 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade, with a predominantly African American student population.

While the school has relatively high spending per student, it faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 39.6% to 53.2%, which are much higher than the Miami-Dade district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 26% to 52% in ELA and 29% to 85% in Math. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.12% to 94.49%, indicating a high concentration of students from low-income families.

When comparing Edison Park K-8 Center to nearby schools within the Miami-Dade district, such as Jesse J. McCrary Junior Elementary, Holmes Elementary, and Shadowlawn Elementary, similar patterns emerge, with high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and high percentages of students from low-income families. However, some nearby schools, like Morningside K-8 Academy and Arcola Lake Elementary, perform better on various metrics, suggesting that factors within the school or community may contribute to the differences in 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.
