About My Happy House

My Happy House serves 93 students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade in Hialeah's 33012 zip code area. This small elementary school maintains an impressive 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio with 10 full-time equivalent teachers, allowing for personalized attention that likely contributes to its strong 9.2 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating. Despite ranking #843 out of 1,462 Florida schools, placing it in the 42nd percentile statewide, My Happy House appears to be making meaningful connections with its students and families through its intimate learning environment.

The school's compact size creates opportunities for close teacher-student relationships and individualized support that larger institutions often struggle to provide. The school draws from a diverse working-class community where the median household income is $41,921 and nearly one in five families face economic challenges. With only 17% of neighborhood residents holding bachelor's degrees, My Happy House plays an important role in providing educational opportunities for first-generation college-bound students.

Located on West 16th Avenue in this large suburban area of Miami-Dade County, My Happy House serves a vibrant Hispanic community where families are investing in their children's futures despite economic obstacles, with median home values reaching $313,600 in this densely populated neighborhood of over 71,000 residents.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 93 students, My Happy House 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 9.5:1, My Happy House 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, My Happy House 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.
