Winston Park K-8 Center

Summary:

Winston Park K-8 Center is a public school in Miami, Florida, serving 1,204 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This high-performing school consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, particularly in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

One key metric that sets Winston Park K-8 Center apart is its exceptional academic performance. In the 2023-2024 school year, 95% of its students were proficient or better in Algebra 1, compared to just 61% in Miami-Dade and 55% statewide. The school's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th graders, at 61% and 64% respectively, also significantly outpace the district and state averages. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.3% in 2018-2019 to 17.3% in 2022-2023, which could impact student learning.

Compared to nearby schools, Winston Park K-8 Center stands out as a high-performing institution. Public charter schools like Pinecrest Academy (South Campus) and Archimedean Academy are also among the top-ranked elementary schools in Florida, but other public schools in the area, such as Royal Green Elementary, Bent Tree Elementary, and Kendale Lakes Elementary, have lower performance metrics. Additionally, Winston Park K-8 Center has seen a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic students, from 93.59% in 2020-2021 to 94.52% in 2022-2023, which may have implications for the school's programming and support services.

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.
