Pompano Beach Middle School

Summary:

Pompano Beach Middle School is a public middle school serving around 1,040 students in grades 6-8 in Pompano Beach, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district. The school has been rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger in recent years, indicating significant room for improvement.

Pompano Beach Middle School stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (48-50%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 26-90% African American. The school also performs below the Broward County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 30-50% in ELA and 35-43% in Math, compared to 50-57% and 43-55% for Broward, respectively. Additionally, Pompano Beach Middle School has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25-34% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the 9-34% range of nearby schools like Crystal Lake Middle School and Lauderdale Lakes Middle School.

Despite these challenges, Pompano Beach Middle School has shown potential, with high proficiency rates in certain EOC exams, such as Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined from the 700s in 2015-2016 to the 800s in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerning trend in academic performance. Addressing the high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and racial disparities at Pompano Beach Middle School through targeted interventions and support services could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a high-quality education for its students.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
