Shenandoah Elementary School

Summary:

Shenandoah Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 787 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.

Shenandoah Elementary stands out for its significantly higher Hispanic student population (97.59%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 73.09% to 96.77% Hispanic students. The school also has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28.1% to 34.2% over the past few years, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 3.3% to 40.1%. Academically, Shenandoah Elementary consistently underperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across various grade levels and subjects, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, only 33% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 56% in Miami-Dade and 55% statewide. Additionally, Shenandoah Elementary has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.66% to 93.75% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ada Merritt K-8 Center and Lincoln-Marti Charter School Little Havana Campus, which consistently outperform Shenandoah on test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates, Shenandoah Elementary's performance has been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1288th out of 2064 Florida elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1731st out of 2256 in 2023-2024, and its SchoolDigger rating dropping from 2 stars to 1 star during this period. Despite these challenges, the data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and implementing targeted interventions to improve academic achievement.

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.
