Devon Aire K-8 Center

Summary:

Devon Aire K-8 Center is a public school in Miami, Florida, serving 1,029 students from prekindergarten through 8th grade. As part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state, Devon Aire has a predominantly Hispanic student population (84.84% in 2022-2023).

Devon Aire K-8 Center consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in standardized test scores across various grade levels and subjects. In 2023-2024, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates compared to the district and state in EOC/Algebra 1 (89% vs. 61% and 55%), EOC/Biology 1 (100% vs. 70% and 67%), and 3rd grade FAST/English Language Arts (84% vs. 56% and 55%).

When compared to nearby schools, such as Somerset Academy Kendall and Calusa Elementary School, Devon Aire K-8 Center stands out as a high-performing institution, outpacing many of its counterparts in academic achievement and other key metrics. However, the school's increase in chronic absenteeism over the years, reaching 19.2% in 2022-2023, is a concern that the school and district may need to address.

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.
