Henry M. Flagler Elementary School

Summary:

Henry M. Flagler Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 743 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.

While Henry M. Flagler Elementary has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (97.04%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 80.05% to 97.99% Hispanic, it has also experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.8% in 2019-2020 to 22.2% in 2022-2023. Additionally, the school consistently underperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency was 37%, compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.04% to 91.99% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While nearby schools like Seminole Elementary, Coral Gables Preparatory Academy, and Sylvania Heights Elementary have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, they also serve student populations with lower percentages of Hispanic and economically disadvantaged students. This suggests that the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the increasing chronic absenteeism rate at Henry M. Flagler Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance compared to the surrounding schools and district/state averages.

Open Quote Stay away from this school if you can. The administration does not listen and/or respects parent and teacher do what they like.

The second grade teacher Miss Oliva is horrible and can not handle a parent questions honestly. The only respond after a question/request is retaliation against your kid.

There are no words to describe how sad it is to encounter administration like the one in Henry M Flagler where personalities instead of syllabus run the school Close Quote

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.
