Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy

Summary:

Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy is a public elementary and middle school located in Miami, Florida, serving 835 students in grades PK-8. 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.

Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy generally outperforms the Miami-Dade district and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with strong performance in Algebra 1, Geometry, Biology 1, and 3rd-8th grade FAST Math and English Language Arts assessments. However, the school faces challenges with a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by its 68.14% to 84.23% free or reduced-price lunch rates over the past three school years. Additionally, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.7% in 2019-2020 to 23.2% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Ethel Koger Beckham K-8 Center, Oliver Hoover Elementary School, and Bent Tree Elementary School, Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy's performance on standardized tests is generally stronger, particularly in math and science. However, the nearby schools have lower chronic absenteeism rates, suggesting that Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy may need to implement more targeted strategies to address attendance issues. Despite these challenges, the school's strong academic performance, coupled with its high free/reduced lunch rates and increased per-student spending, suggest that it may be effectively utilizing its resources to support its 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.
