Outliers
Miami-Dade schools ranked against their peer group of up to 40 demographically similar schools (same school level, sector and magnet status). Direction-adjusted — a higher percentile always means better outcomes.
Middle School Acceleration (School Grades component) — The 'Middle School Acceleration' component of the school grade, as published (percent).
| School | Sector | Region | Grade | Value | vs. peers | vs. district |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PALM GLADES PREPARATORY ACADEMY #3032 · 6-12 | Charter | — | B | 32.0% | ||
| PAUL W. BELL MIDDLE SCHOOL #6041 · Middle | District-run | South region | A | 54.0% | ||
| FRANCES S. TUCKER K-8 CENTER #5561 · K-8 | District-run | Central region | C | 47.0% |
Direction: Higher is better.
Peer group: up to 40 nearest neighbours on z-scored Black, Hispanic and White shares, English-learner share, economic disadvantage and log enrollment, all from the 2024-25 state files; hard filters on school level, sector and whole-school magnet status. Schools with fewer than 5 candidates have no peer percentile.
Residual z: weighted least squares of the value on the same-year shares, log enrollment, level, sector and magnet status; z = residual ÷ √(model error² + sampling error²); cells with fewer than 30 students in the relevant grades are not fitted. The two methods disagree on some schools by design: the flip-diff and the pre-registered checks are on the residual-z page.
Suppressed cells (fewer than 10 students) are hidden. Definitions: Middle School Acceleration (School Grades component) · methodology.
