Summary:
The 33054 zip code area of Miami-Dade County is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools, all part of the Miami-Dade school district. While the area has some standout schools like North Dade Center For Modern Languages, an exceptional elementary school, it also faces significant challenges, with the lowest-performing school, North Park High School, ranking near the bottom of Florida high schools.
The schools in the 33054 zip code serve predominantly low-income communities, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.7% to 88.9%. This is reflected in the wide disparities in academic performance, with some schools like North Dade Center For Modern Languages achieving exceptional test scores and others like North Park High School struggling, with only 0-14% of students proficient in core subjects. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with rates ranging from 14.2% to 83.8%, suggesting underlying issues that are keeping students from regularly attending school.
The data also reveals significant inequities in resource allocation, with per-student spending ranging from $8,895 at North Park High School to $86,695 at Jann Mann Educational Center. This imbalance may contribute to the performance gaps between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the area. Additionally, the poor performance and low graduation rates at the two high schools in the data set indicate that students are facing significant obstacles in successfully completing their secondary education.
