Archcreek Elementary School

Q: Is Archcreek Elementary School a good school?

Archcreek Elementary School ranks 1199 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Archcreek Elementary School is a public elementary school in North Miami, Florida, serving 442 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.

Archcreek Elementary faces several key challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of African American students (83.48%) compared to surrounding schools, high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.4% to 26.7%, and consistently lower test scores than the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, Archcreek's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 42% compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida. Additionally, Archcreek has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 78.73% to 93.48% over the past few years, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Archcreek's performance is lower than the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Natural Bridge Elementary School and Mater Academy Bay Biscayne North Miami Elementary School, have higher test scores and better overall performance, indicating that there may be opportunities to learn from their practices. Additionally, the steady increase in per-student spending at Archcreek, from $9,664 in 2019-2020 to $15,214 in 2022-2023, suggests that the school district is investing resources to support the school, but the academic outcomes have not yet shown significant improvement.

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.
