While the district is ranked 24th out of 68 in Florida and has a 3-star rating, Miami Community Charter School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, chronic absenteeism, and overall school ranking.
The school has a notably higher Hispanic student population (91.21%) compared to surrounding schools, and it struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 32.5% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than nearby schools. Academically, Miami Community Charter School consistently underperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in proficiency rates across all grade levels and subject areas, with its 5th-grade science proficiency rate at just 23% in 2023-2024, compared to 53% for both Miami-Dade and the state of Florida. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 1427 out of 2182 Florida elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 1782 out of 2256 in 2023-2024, and it is currently rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
While Miami Community Charter School struggles, some nearby charter schools, such as Somerset Academy Charter Elementary School (South Homestead) and Somerset Arts Academy, perform significantly better, with higher proficiency rates, lower chronic absenteeism, and higher statewide rankings. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Miami Community Charter School, ranging from 82.62% to 96.5% over the past few years, may contribute to the school's academic challenges, but nearby schools with similar demographic profiles, such as Florida City Elementary School, also underperform.
