About Academir Charter School Preparatory
Academir Charter School Preparatory earns a composite score of 9.1/10, rated Exceptional — a mark that holds up even against Florida's strongest performers. The Miami charter enrolls 1,148 students across kindergarten through eighth grade. Its growth score of 9.8/10 is the figure that demands attention.
Students here aren't just arriving prepared; they're advancing faster than expected. That difference matters because it reflects what happens inside the building, not just who walks through the door. The academic score of 8.9/10 supports the growth story with steady, measurable outcomes across all grade levels.
At 16.9 students per teacher, classrooms stay at a scale where individual attention is still practical — a structural factor that likely reinforces the growth trajectory. Out of 280 public schools in Miami, Academir ranks fourth. The statewide context is even more striking: Academir outperforms 99% of Florida's public schools, a standing it holds against 3,777 schools total.
For families who want to minimize school transitions, the KG–8 model is worth noting — one campus, one set of relationships, and continuity from kindergarten through the end of middle school.
