Kinloch Park Middle School

Summary:

Kinloch Park Middle School is a public middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 643 students in grades 6-8. 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.

Kinloch Park Middle School stands out from the surrounding schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (99.22%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 65.71% to 97.33% Hispanic students. The school also consistently struggles with higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.2% to 32.3% over the past few years, significantly higher than the 3.7% to 48.3% range of the surrounding schools. Academically, Kinloch Park Middle School consistently underperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates of just 22-28% and 22-33%, respectively, compared to district and state averages of 54-57% and 50-56%.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $9,893 to $12,032 over the past few years, Kinloch Park Middle School continues to underperform its peers, such as West Miami Middle School, Brownsville Middle School, and Ponce De Leon Middle School, which have lower per-student spending but better academic outcomes. This suggests that the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to better support student learning and address the unique challenges faced by its predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population.

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.
