Additionally, ISAAC and Springview Elementary received an “A” from the FDOE’s school accountability report while Miami Springs Elementary received a “B.”

Before diving into each of these schools’ academic records, note some differences between each of these schools. First of all, ISAAC K-8 is a part of Miami-Dade County’s system of public charter schools. These charter schools are tuition-free. However, students must apply and be selected to attend. The other two elementary schools listed, Springview Elementary and Miami Springs Elementary are a part of Miami-Dade County’s system of public district schools, so students do not have to apply to attend.

In addition, ISAAC K-8 is a combined elementary and middle school. Both of its elementary and middle school components are located on the same campus. And while ISAAC may be named the Integrated Science and Asian Culture Academy, students of all ethnicities and races are welcome to attend. ISAAC is unique in that its curriculum focuses on the integration of science, mathematics, and the Mandarin language to prepare its students for high school and beyond. 

In terms of academic performance, ISAAC K-8 takes the cake, scoring an 83% proficiency in math, an 88% proficiency in English, and a 90% proficiency in science. Springview Elementary follows close behind with a 78% proficiency in math, a 74% proficiency in English, and a 69% proficiency in science. And finally, there’s Miami Springs Elementary with a 68% proficiency in math, a 69% proficiency in English, and a 52% proficiency in science. Even though ISAAC K-8 does perform the best out of all of these schools, each one of these elementary schools exceeded the state standards for standardized testing in every subject. 

These schools all have slightly mixed reviews and differing parent testimony on greatschools.org, so it's worth reading the reviews for yourself. 

However, one Springview Elementary parent did say, “I love this school, excellent teachers and staff.” 

And one Miami Springs Elementary parent said, “All experienced teachers, very effective administration, amazing art and music programs, the best in the area.”
