Elementary Schools In Doral 

The top three recommended elementary schools in Doral are Renaissance Elementary Charter School, Doral Academy, and Eugenia B. Thomas Center (K-8). Both Renaissance Elementary Charter and Doral Academy were ranked 10/10 by greatschools.org while Eugenia B. Thomas Center was ranked 7/10. In addition, all schools received an “A” from the FDOE’s school accountability report.  

All schools listed are a part of the Miami-Dade County public school system. However, both Renaissance Elementary Charter and Doral Academy are a part of the Miami Dade County public charter school system, so students have to apply and be selected to attend. On the other hand, students do not have to apply to attend Eugenia B. Thomas Center because it is a part of the larger Miami-Dade public district school system. 

In terms of academic performance, Doral Academy leads the pack, exceeding the state standards in standardized testing in every subject by a lot! Even in its worst subject, math, Doral Academy still exceeded the state standard by 33 percentage points. Overall, Doral Academy managed 91% proficiency in math, 90% proficiency in English, and 92% proficiency in science. Renaissance Elementary Charter comes in second, still immensely exceeding the state standard in every subject. And Eugenia B. Thomas Center’s English exceeded the state standard for English by four percentage points. However, in math and science, Eugenia B. Thomas Center fell below state standards.  

However, don’t completely discount Eugenia B. Thomas Center. One Eugenia B. Thomas parent said, “Cómo padre sé un alumno en el gifted program del colegio durante 3 años, debo destacar que los niños se desenvuelven en un grato ambiente que les facilita su progreso académico, fundamentalmente debido a la actitud y aptitud con que cuenta su personal docente y administrativo”
