Summary:
The 10 schools in the 33178 zip code of Doral, Florida serve a diverse student population, with a predominantly Hispanic student body and a significant percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. While the majority of the schools perform well above the district and state averages in various assessments, particularly in STEM-related subjects, there are some areas of concern, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and disparities in test scores.
Two standout schools in the area are Eugenia B. Thomas K-8 Center and John I. Smith K-8 Center, which consistently rank in the top 50% of Florida elementary schools and demonstrate exceptional performance in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1 EOCs. In contrast, the J.C. Bermudez Doral Senior High, an alternative high school, has the lowest spending per student at $8,552, which may contribute to its academic challenges.
The data also reveals that the Miami-Dade district, which encompasses these schools, faces significant challenges in addressing chronic absenteeism, with the majority of schools in the 33178 zip code having rates above 20%. This issue, coupled with the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggests that the schools in this area serve a population with unique socioeconomic needs that require targeted interventions and support to ensure their academic success.
