Original Research by School Decision on Flagami Elementary School
Flagami Elementary sits on SW 76th Avenue in the Flagami neighborhood of Miami, a school within Miami-Dade County Public Schools serving children from pre-K through fifth grade. The school is a regular public school, not a charter or magnet, and enrollment is on the smaller side for a neighborhood K-5 program. The student population is overwhelmingly Hispanic, reflecting the surrounding community, and roughly half of enrolled students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, meaning a substantial share of families are at or near income-eligibility thresholds. Data on English learner enrollment and special education rates were not available in the records provided.
On the Florida state assessments, the school's results paint a mixed picture. In math, third graders performed well above the midpoint, which is a genuine strength worth naming. By fourth and fifth grade, math proficiency drops noticeably, though it remains above half. Reading and language arts tell a more concerning story: scores decline steadily from third grade through fifth, and by fifth grade fewer than half of students are reading at the proficient level. Fifth-grade science results sit in a range that is not strong but not dramatically low either. Parents who want to dig deeper into the year-to-year trend should know that multi-year comparison data was not available, so it is not possible from this data to say whether scores are improving, holding, or sliding. A parent who wants to understand what the school is doing specifically to address the ELA gap in upper elementary grades may want to raise that question directly with the principal.
No program offerings were listed in the data for this school, so it is not possible to describe enrichment, dual-language, arts, or other specialized tracks. That absence may simply be a data gap rather than an absence of programs, and families should ask the school directly.
The neighborhood itself sits within one of Miami's most walkable urban contexts. Flagami is a dense residential area west of Little Havana, with everyday needs accessible on foot or by short transit ride and access to the broader Metrorail and Metromover network. The civic infrastructure of a major city is nearby: public libraries, parks, hospitals, and cultural institutions are part of the urban fabric. Miami's job market is anchored by government, health care, education, and tourism, and a range of large employers is within commuting range.
Housing in the zip code is priced well above Florida's statewide median and considerably above the national median, making this one of the more expensive entry points in the region. Rents have ticked upward over the past year while home values have edged slightly downward, though the gap between renting and owning remains wide and the ratio of rent to income runs high by national standards. For families weighing whether to buy near this school, the housing cost context is genuinely challenging.
At the district level, publicly reported information describes Miami-Dade as managing a sustained enrollment decline, with a school board considering closures and consolidations of schools across all three of its regions heading into the next school year. Families moving into any Miami-Dade attendance zone should be aware that boundary reassignments and school restructurings are actively in play, and Flagami Elementary's own attendance zone could be affected. A voter-approved property tax increase, which funds teacher pay and school safety staffing, is set to expire in 2027 unless renewed, which represents an ongoing financial consideration for homeowners. The district is also navigating a coming statewide cell phone policy that will shape classroom rules once finalized.
Comparison data for proficiency against other districts in Miami-Dade County could not be computed from the available records, so it is not possible to place this school's results in a precise county-level context.
