Summary:
The city of Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, is home to 7 schools serving students from elementary to high school, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly African American student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
Among the standout schools, Central Charter School outperforms the Broward district and state averages on several test scores, particularly in math, despite having a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 99.92%. In contrast, Lauderdale Lakes Middle School performs well on end-of-course exams but struggles in English Language Arts and Statewide Science. The two high schools, Boyd H. Anderson High School and Championship Academy of Distinction High School, have varying graduation rates, with the latter having a lower rate of 76.5% compared to the former's 90.9%.
The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance among the schools, with some outperforming the district and state, while others face challenges across multiple metrics. The high free/reduced lunch rates and variation in spending per student and student-teacher ratios suggest that the Lauderdale Lakes area has a high-need student population and that access to resources may play a role in the schools' performance. Addressing these disparities and providing targeted interventions will be crucial in supporting student success across the district.
