Best Public Schools in Zip Code 33018


Summary:

The 33018 zip code area in Miami-Dade County is home to 9 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Miami-Dade school district. While the district is ranked 24th out of 68 in Florida and has a 3-star rating, the schools in this area show stark differences in performance.

Mater Gardens Academy and West Lakes Preparatory Academy stand out as high-performing elementary/middle schools, ranking in the top 15% and 25% of Florida elementary schools respectively. These schools excel in core subjects like English Language Arts, Math, and STEM. In contrast, Lincoln-Marti Charter School and Hialeah Gardens Middle School struggle, with lower test scores and graduation rates.

The data suggests that funding may play a role, as the highest-performing schools also have the highest per-student spending. However, chronic absenteeism, which exceeds 35% at several schools, is a significant challenge across the area. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly Hispanic student population, with little racial/ethnic diversity, raising concerns about equity and access to educational opportunities for underrepresented groups. Addressing these disparities will be crucial to ensuring all students in the 33018 zip code receive a quality education.
