Carrie P. Meek/Westview K-8 Center

Summary:

Carrie P. Meek/Westview K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 551 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th 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.

While the school serves a predominantly African American student population, similar to nearby schools like Rainbow Park Elementary, North Dade Center For Modern Languages, and Benjamin Franklin K-8 Center, Carrie P. Meek/Westview K-8 Center consistently underperforms these schools and the district and state averages in academic measures. The school has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math, a high chronic absenteeism rate, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite spending a relatively high amount per student, ranging from $12,973 to $16,799 per year, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, Carrie P. Meek/Westview K-8 Center has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. These factors suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and targeted interventions and support may be needed to address the unique needs of the school and its community.

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.
