North Hialeah Elementary School

Summary:

North Hialeah Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 432 students in grades PK-5 in Hialeah, Florida, which is part of the Miami-Dade school district.

While North Hialeah Elementary shares many demographic similarities with the surrounding schools, such as a high Hispanic student population, it faces several unique challenges. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 13.3% in 2018-2019 to 24.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the 15-28% range of its neighboring schools. Additionally, North Hialeah's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 38% compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida.

North Hialeah Elementary also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 65-84% over the past few years, which is higher than the surrounding schools' range of 55-90%. While the school's per-student spending has fluctuated between $10,758 and $14,476 over the past few years, which is generally higher than the neighboring schools, its academic performance continues to lag behind. For example, Meadowlane Elementary, which is just 1.72 miles away, outperforms North Hialeah on most state assessments.

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.
