Irving & Beatrice Peskoe K-8 Center

Summary:

Irving & Beatrice Peskoe K-8 Center is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 763 students from prekindergarten through 8th grade. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating it serves a low-income community.

While the school is part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida, Irving & Beatrice Peskoe K-8 Center faces several challenges. The school has consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the district and state, with a rate of 29.9% in the 2022-2023 school year, significantly higher than the district's 25.7% and the state's 23.4%. Additionally, the school's test scores, as measured by the FAST and EOC assessments, are generally lower than the Miami-Dade district and the state of Florida across various grade levels and subject areas, with the exception of Civics EOC assessments, where the school's performance is relatively stronger.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Somerset Prepatory Academy - Homestead, Air Base K-8 Center For International Education, and The Charter School At Waterstone, Irving & Beatrice Peskoe K-8 Center generally underperforms in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism rates, and statewide rankings. The school's consistently low 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests it is performing below average compared to other schools in Florida.

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.
