Fsu Lab School

The Fsu Lab School district, ranked 2nd out of 68 districts in Florida with a 5-star rating, is home to two public charter schools: Florida State University School, an alternative school serving grades K-12, and The Pembroke Pines Florida, an elementary school serving grades K-5.

Of the two, Florida State University School stands out as a high-performing institution, boasting a 99.4% four-year graduation rate and consistently high proficiency rates across various state assessments, often outperforming the state average by a significant margin. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, 91% of its students were proficient or better in the EOC/Civics assessment, compared to the state average of 67%. In contrast, while The Pembroke Pines Florida also performs well, with proficiency rates generally above the state average, it does not demonstrate the same level of academic excellence as its counterpart.

Interestingly, Florida State University School has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Asian students compared to The Pembroke Pines Florida, which has a larger Hispanic student population. Additionally, Florida State University School has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a more socioeconomically diverse student body. Despite these differences, both schools within the Fsu Lab School district are performing well and providing quality education to their students.
