Miami Community Charter Middle School

Summary:

Miami Community Charter Middle School is a public charter school serving grades 6-8 in Florida City, FL, with a total enrollment of 322 students, the majority of whom (over 92%) identify as Hispanic. Despite its location, the school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom quartile of Florida middle schools with a 1-star rating in recent years.

One of the key issues facing Miami Community Charter Middle School is its significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Miami-Dade district and state averages. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school had a chronic absenteeism rate of 33.1%, far exceeding the district average of 7.4% and the state average of 15.3%. This high rate of chronic absenteeism appears to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, with students consistently underperforming their peers on standardized tests, including FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) for English Language Arts and Math, as well as End-of-Course (EOC) exams.

Another factor that sets Miami Community Charter Middle School apart is its exceptionally high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with over 93% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year. This is significantly higher than the district and state averages, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students. When compared to nearby schools in the Miami-Dade district, such as Homestead Middle School and South Dade Middle School, Miami Community Charter Middle School's academic performance and spending per student are significantly lower, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address these challenges and 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.
