Charles R Hadley Elementary School

Q: Is Charles R Hadley Elementary School a good school?

Charles R Hadley Elementary School ranks 1329 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Charles R Hadley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 626 students in grades PK-5. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student population, with 96.96% of students identifying as Hispanic, which is significantly higher than the surrounding schools.

The school faces some challenges, including a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, which has risen from 9.4% in 2018-2019 to 20.8% in 2022-2023, higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's performance on standardized tests is generally lower than the Miami-Dade and Florida averages, with only 33% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in Statewide Science/Science, compared to 53% for both Miami-Dade and Florida. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.87% to 81.72% over the past few years, which is on the higher end compared to the surrounding schools.

Interestingly, the nearby Pinecrest Academy (North Campus) and Doral Academy charter schools have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Charles R Hadley Elementary, suggesting that the charter school model may be more effective in supporting student achievement in this area. Additionally, while Charles R Hadley Elementary School has higher spending per student compared to the surrounding schools, this additional investment does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.

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.
