Summary and Overall Rating

Coral Terrace Elementary serves PreK through 5th grade in the Coral Terrace area of Miami. Academically, it ranks in the top 30 percent of Florida elementary schools, with proficiency rates around 65–69 percent in math and 60–64 percent in reading. It offers a Gifted and Talented program and shows significant improvement trends.

However, the school faces concerns related to absenteeism, below-district literacy scores in early grades, and parent complaints about staff and communication. The district mandates LGBTQ inclusion and pronoun policies from early grades without opt-out provisions. From a traditional or faith-based vantage point, Coral Terrace Elementary earns a 3.5 out of 10, reflecting strong academics but tempered by demographic needs, policy concerns, and community feedback.
