Joe Hall Elementary School

Q: Is Joe Hall Elementary School a good school?

Joe Hall Elementary School ranks 669 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Joe Hall Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 375 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Joe Hall Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students generally outperforming the Miami-Dade and Florida averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 4th-grade Math proficiency rate was 86%, compared to 62% for Miami-Dade and 58% for Florida. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (23.7% in 2022-2023) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 10.9% to 22.6%. Additionally, Joe Hall Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (59.47% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby Pinecrest Glades Academy (20.9%) and Pinecrest Preparatory Academy (25.9%).

Despite these challenges, Joe Hall Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, suggesting the school is providing a stable level of education to its students. The school's relatively high per-student spending ($17,960 in 2022-2023) and low student-teacher ratio (12:1 in 2022-2023) indicate that it has access to significant resources, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the nearby charter schools, such as Academir Charter School East At Doral and Pinecrest Glades Academy, generally outperform Joe Hall Elementary School in terms of test scores and statewide rankings, despite serving a similar demographic of students. This suggests that the charter school model may be more effective in this area.

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.
