Summary:
The 33174 zip code area of Miami, Florida is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Coral Park Elementary School, Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Elementary, Sweetwater Elementary School, and Pinecrest Academy (North Campus), a high-performing public charter school.
Among these schools, Pinecrest Academy (North Campus) stands out as a top-performing elementary school, consistently ranking among the best in Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida. With 77% and 95% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, respectively, Pinecrest Academy's academic results far exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, the other three traditional public elementary schools in the area have more mixed performance, with Coral Park Elementary School performing well, while Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Elementary and Sweetwater Elementary School have struggled with lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates.
The schools in the 33174 zip code area serve a predominantly Hispanic and low-income student population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 57.6% to 71.43%. This demographic profile may contribute to the challenges faced by some of the schools in terms of academic performance and attendance. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 15.7 to 16.5, suggest that the schools have the resources to provide more individualized attention to students, which could be a factor in their academic outcomes.
