North Miami Middle School

Summary:

North Miami Middle School is a public middle school serving 807 students in grades 6-8 in the Miami-Dade school district, with a predominantly African American (78.93%) student population.

Despite increased funding, North Miami Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in academic measures, with low proficiency rates in FAST English Language Arts and Math. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 18% to 46.9%, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 71.25% to 93.78%. These factors contribute to the school's 1-star rating and bottom 25% ranking among Andover Middle School and Highland Oaks Middle School, which have higher academic performance and better school rankings.

Interestingly, the nearby Beacon College Prep Middle School, a public charter school, outperforms North Miami Middle School in several academic measures, despite having a similar student demographic. Additionally, other nearby schools, such as North Dade Middle School and Horace Mann Middle School, also struggle with academic performance and low school rankings, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues at North Miami Middle School.

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.
