Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center

Summary:

Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 415 students in grades PK-8. 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.

While the nearby schools, such as Arcola Lake Elementary School, Charles R Drew K-8 Center, and Holmes Elementary School, serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations, they generally outperform Dr. Henry W. Mack/West Little River K-8 Center on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by this school may be more significant or the interventions less effective compared to its neighbors.

The school has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (57.83%) compared to the surrounding schools, and it consistently underperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 33% to 43.3% over the past few years, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 72.53% to 95.96%. These factors, combined with the school's consistently low performance and 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicate a need for significant and sustained interventions to address the underlying issues and support the success of its 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.
