Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary School

Summary:

Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami Gardens, Florida, serving 502 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (87.65%) compared to nearby schools, its academic performance is consistently lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36-40%) and Math (41-53%) were significantly below the Miami-Dade County (55-65%) and Florida (53-60%) averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 26.2% to 29.5% in recent years, and a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Interestingly, while the nearby schools, such as Carol City Elementary and Hive Preparatory School, also serve economically disadvantaged populations, they generally outperform Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary School in academic measures. For example, Hive Preparatory School, a public charter school, has significantly higher proficiency rates in all subjects and grades compared to Charles David Wyche Junior Elementary. The school's higher spending per student compared to the state average suggests that resources are available, but the challenge lies in effectively utilizing these resources to improve student outcomes.

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.
