Compared to nearby schools, Brightview Preparatory Academy has lower academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math ranging from 21% to 54%, compared to the Miami-Dade district averages of 56% to 57% and 59% to 65%, respectively. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.1%, significantly higher than the district average.

The high percentage of Hispanic students at Brightview Preparatory Academy, coupled with its lower academic performance, raises questions about potential equity and access issues within the school and the broader educational system. The school's challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and funding disparities, suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

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.
