Pine Lake Elementary School

Q: Is Pine Lake Elementary School a good school?

Pine Lake Elementary School ranks 1301 st of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pine Lake Elementary School is a public elementary school in Miami, Florida, serving 376 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Miami-Dade school district, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in the state.

While Pine Lake Elementary has a diverse student population, the school faces several challenges. It has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (41.3%) compared to the Miami-Dade district (33.5%) and the state (24.4%) averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than district and state averages across subjects and grade levels, with its 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate at 49% compared to 56% for Miami-Dade and 55% for Florida, and its 5th grade Math proficiency rate at 57% compared to 59% for Miami-Dade and 56% for Florida. The school also has a very high percentage of students (80.85%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Gloria Floyd Elementary and Academir Charter School Preparatory, Pine Lake Elementary generally performs below average in terms of test scores and chronic absenteeism rates. The school's higher per-student spending of $18,319, compared to the Miami-Dade district average of $13,192 and the state average of $11,430, suggests that additional resources are being directed towards addressing the needs of the student population, but more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve student outcomes and close the performance gap.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
