Summary:
The 33162 zip code area in Miami-Dade County is home to 9 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the Miami-Dade school district. While the district is ranked 24th out of 68 in Florida, the schools in this area face some significant challenges, with low test scores, high poverty rates, and concerning chronic absenteeism issues.
Among the standout schools in the area is John F. Kennedy Middle School, which has strong test scores, particularly in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1, as well as a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate. Oak Grove Elementary School also stands out with above-average test scores in 5th grade science and math. In contrast, C.G. Bethel High School has very low test scores and graduation rates, as well as an alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rate of 94.8%.
The data also reveals significant racial disparities among the schools, with some having a majority African American student population and others a majority Hispanic student population. This, combined with the high poverty rates and low academic performance, suggests that these schools may be facing challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities for all students. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issues and targeting interventions to improve academic outcomes will be crucial for the schools in this area to better serve their diverse student populations.
