Dunbar School’s Future in Balance | Miami News

Miami’s school district braces for major cuts as enrollment plummets—15,000 students lost this year due to falling birth rates, private school vouchers, and neighborhood displacement. Dunbar K-8 Academy in Overtown, one of the city’s oldest Black schools, is under threat after being flagged for “reassessment,” sparking fear among parents who see it as another blow to their community. But new Superintendent Villalobos has promised a full review of every reassessed school before any closures are finalized, offering cautious hope. Parents like Mekka Jeanty remain vocal, urging officials to protect Dunbar while waiting for clearer enrollment data expected in October.
