Gulfstream Academy Of Hallandale Beach

Summary:

Gulfstream Academy Of Hallandale Beach is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Hallandale Beach, Florida, with a student population of 1,317 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school faces significant challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Gulfstream Academy's student population is more racially diverse than nearby schools, with 52.01% Hispanic, 34.55% African American, and 10.33% White students. However, the school's test scores consistently lag behind state and Broward district averages, with only 41% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 24% of 6th graders proficient in math. The school's chronic absenteeism rate reached as high as 29.6% in the 2020-2021 school year, significantly higher than the state and district averages, as well as nearby schools like Lake Forest Elementary (30.9%) and Aventura Waterways K-8 Center (25.7%).

Despite the higher spending per student at Gulfstream Academy ($11,843 in the 2022-2023 school year), the school's academic performance remains low, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The school's challenges are further highlighted by the strong performance of nearby schools, such as Ben Gamla Charter School, which consistently outperforms Gulfstream Academy on test scores. Addressing the issues at Gulfstream Academy will require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, attendance, and resource allocation to better support and engage its diverse student population.

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.
