Academir Charter School Preparatory

Summary:

Academir Charter School Preparatory is a public charter elementary and middle school in Miami, Florida, serving 1,150 students in grades K-8. The school has a predominantly Hispanic student body, with over 95% of students identifying as Hispanic, and 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.

Academir Charter School Preparatory consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade district and the state of Florida in various standardized test scores, with 79% proficiency in EOC/Algebra 1 and 97% proficiency in EOC/Biology 1, compared to 61% and 70% for Miami-Dade, and 55% and 67% for Florida, respectively. While the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 14.3% in 2020-2021 to 27.1% in 2022-2023, it still performs better than the nearby schools, which have chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 29.1% to 50.8%. Additionally, Academir Charter School Preparatory has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.74% to 83.81% over the past three school years, which is higher than the nearby schools, which have free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 63.97% to 91.2%.

Academir Charter School Preparatory's spending per student, ranging from $8,062 in 2019-2020 to $9,474 in 2021-2022, is higher than the nearby schools, which have spending per student ranging from $9,232 to $23,728. This suggests that the school's ability to maintain strong academic performance despite the socioeconomic challenges faced by its predominantly Hispanic, economically disadvantaged student population is a testament to its effective educational practices. However, the school should continue to address the rising chronic absenteeism rates and explore ways to ensure equitable funding and resources across the Miami-Dade district.

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.
