Summary and Overall Rating

Bent Tree Elementary School is a Title I public school in Kendale Lakes, Miami, serving students from PreK through grade 5. The school boasts exceptional academic performance with consistent “A” grades and a strong Gifted and Talented program. Its suburban setting provides a calm, structured learning environment. However, the school is part of Miami Dade County Public Schools, which enforces gender identity affirmation and LGBTQ inclusive policies starting in the earliest grades.

From a traditional or faith based perspective, the school receives a 3.5 out of 10 rating for alignment with conservative educational values. The campus culture remains high achieving and supportive, yet district wide mandates significantly shape the school’s approach to identity and inclusion.
