Lake Stevens Elementary School

Summary:

Lake Stevens Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving 251 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. 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.

Lake Stevens has a unique student population, with a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (51.79%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have a higher percentage of African American students. However, the school has experienced higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.5% to 32.8%, which is higher than the nearby schools. While Lake Stevens has outperformed the district and state in some grade-level math assessments, its overall academic performance has been inconsistent, with mixed results on standardized tests, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.91% to 91.76%, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, Lake Stevens' statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, ranging from 560th out of 2,240 Florida elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1,695th out of 2,247 in 2020-2021. This volatility in ranking suggests that the school's performance has been inconsistent. When compared to nearby schools, such as Hive Preparatory School, a public charter school within the same district, Lake Stevens has consistently underperformed on standardized tests. The high percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and the fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates at Lake Stevens may be contributing factors to the school's uneven academic performance, and addressing these underlying challenges could be crucial in improving the school's overall outcomes.

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.
