Q: Is Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy a good school?

Summary:

Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy is a public elementary and middle school located in Doral, Florida, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 661. 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.

Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy consistently outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in several key test score metrics, including Civics End of Course (EOC) exam, 8th grade Science, 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts (ELA), and 7th grade Math. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.0% in 2020-2021 to 21.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, the school has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 42.9% in 2020-2021 to 29.2% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the nearby schools.

While Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida averages in several test score metrics, it is not the top-performing school in the immediate area. Schools like West Lakes Preparatory Academy and Hialeah Gardens Elementary School have higher test scores and rankings in some areas. The higher spending per student at Dr. Toni Bilbao Preparatory Academy compared to the state and nearby schools may indicate that the school is allocating more resources to support student learning and achievement.

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.
