Flamingo Elementary School

Q: Is Flamingo Elementary School a good school?

Flamingo Elementary School ranks 1442 nd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Flamingo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hialeah, Florida, serving 456 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Flamingo Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population, ranging from 98.46% to 99.18% over the past three school years, compared to the more diverse racial compositions of nearby schools like Excelsior Prep Charter School. The school also experiences higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.9% to 21.2% in the past two school years, which is notably higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, Flamingo Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade County and Florida state averages across all grade levels.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Flamingo Elementary, ranging from 68.86% to 92.59% over the past three school years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be playing a significant role in student outcomes. The school's per-student spending has increased from $9,911 in 2019-2020 to $12,489 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, but the lower academic performance indicates that the funding may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing chronic absenteeism, implementing targeted interventions to improve academic achievement, and exploring ways to better support the unique needs of Flamingo Elementary's predominantly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students.

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.
