It has a significantly higher Hispanic student population (99.2%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 92-96% Hispanic students. The school also outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in several test score metrics, including 64% proficiency in 3rd grade ELA (vs 56% and 55%) and 71% proficiency in 3rd grade math (vs 65% and 60%). However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (22.8%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 10.3% to 23.7%.

Interestingly, Academir Preparatory Academy's strong performance in 3rd and 4th grade math suggests the school is effectively supporting students in developing foundational math skills. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($10,269) is lower than the nearby Kendale Lakes Elementary School ($14,590) and Bent Tree Elementary School ($21,296), yet it is outperforming these schools in several academic metrics. This may be due in part to the school's higher student-teacher ratio (16.3) compared to Kendale Lakes (14.7) and Bent Tree (11.2).

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.
