North Twin Lakes Elementary School

Q: Is North Twin Lakes Elementary School a good school?

North Twin Lakes Elementary School ranks 1255 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

North Twin Lakes Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hialeah, Florida, serving around 500 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.

North Twin Lakes has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (96.6%) compared to the state and district averages, with much lower percentages of White (0.6%) and African American (2.6%) students. The school has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.2% in 2019-2020 to 22.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the district and state averages. Academically, North Twin Lakes generally performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency across all grade levels, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at 49% compared to 56% for the district and 55% for the state. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75% to 91.36% over the past few years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools like Meadowlane Elementary and John G. Dupuis Elementary, North Twin Lakes has a similar racial makeup and high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, but its test scores and chronic absenteeism rates are generally worse. The high poverty levels and increasing chronic absenteeism may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, and the school's significant Hispanic student population may require specialized instructional approaches to address their unique needs. Despite the higher per-student spending at North Twin Lakes, the school's academic performance continues to lag behind, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution.

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.
