About Apple Learning Center

Apple Learning Center serves just 30 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade, creating an intimate educational environment in Miami's southwestern suburbs. This small regular public elementary school maintains an exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 7.5:1 with four full-time equivalent teachers, ensuring each child receives significant individual attention. The school has earned a strong 9.2 out of 10 rating from MySchoolScout, though it ranks in the 40th percentile statewide at #874 out of 1,462 Florida elementary schools.

This compact learning community allows teachers to know every student personally and tailor instruction to individual needs—a significant advantage that many larger schools cannot offer. Apple Learning Center serves families in the 33144 zip code area, where the median household income is $58,382 and median home values reach $410,200. The surrounding community has a 10.4% poverty rate and 28% of residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, reflecting a working-class neighborhood with educational aspirations for their children.

The school's remarkably small size creates a family-like atmosphere where students often form close bonds across grade levels. Located in Miami-Dade County's large suburban setting, Apple Learning Center provides personalized elementary education in a community-focused environment.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 30 students, Apple Learning Center is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 7.5:1, Apple Learning Center offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Apple Learning Center operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
