Summary:

Westpine Middle School is a public middle school in Sunrise, Florida, serving 916 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westpine Middle School consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, particularly in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. However, the school lags behind in 8th grade Statewide Science/Science, with only 30% of students proficient or better compared to 41% in Broward and 45% statewide. Westpine has also seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 4.7% in 2019-2020 to 24.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. The school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.15% to 65.03% over the past three years, also higher than the state and district averages.

Westpine Middle School has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American and Hispanic students compared to nearby schools like Indian Ridge Middle and Ramblewood Middle, which have a higher percentage of White students. While Westpine's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, it has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, lower than the 3-star ratings of nearby higher-performing schools. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and continuing to improve test scores, particularly in 8th grade science, could be areas of focus for Westpine Middle School to enhance its educational outcomes.

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.
