Summary:
The city of Oakland Park, Florida is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a predominantly low-income community.
The schools in Oakland Park show a wide range of performance, with some standouts like James S. Rickards Middle School, which has relatively strong performance on end-of-course exams, and Northeast High School, which boasts a high 4-year graduation rate. However, the public charter Sunfire High School stands out for its extremely high chronic absenteeism rate and very low proficiency on state assessments.
Across the district, there are concerns around high chronic absenteeism rates, potential resource allocation disparities, and the challenges faced by some charter schools. Addressing these issues will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for students in the Broward County school district.
