Linda Lentin K-8 Center

Summary:

Linda Lentin K-8 Center is a public elementary and middle school located in North Miami Beach, Florida, serving 674 students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Miami-Dade County Public School District, which is ranked 24th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a significantly higher percentage of African American students (84.57%) compared to surrounding schools, Linda Lentin K-8 Center generally outperforms the Miami-Dade and Florida state averages in several subject areas, including End-of-Course (EOC) exams, science, and math. The school's strong academic performance is particularly noteworthy given its high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.26% to 95.59% over the past few years. This suggests the school may have effective teaching practices and support systems in place to help students succeed.

However, Linda Lentin K-8 Center does face some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 14% to 31% over the past few years, which is higher than the surrounding schools. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism could be an area of focus for the school. Additionally, while Linda Lentin K-8 Center generally outperforms the district and state averages, some nearby schools, such as Archcreek Elementary School and Natural Bridge Elementary School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in math and science, which could provide valuable insights for Linda Lentin K-8 Center.

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.
