West Hollywood Elementary School

Summary:

West Hollywood Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 471 students in grades PK-5 in Hollywood, Florida, which is part of the Broward County School District. The school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (63.27%) compared to nearby schools, and also has lower test scores and higher chronic absenteeism rates than the county and state averages.

West Hollywood Elementary School consistently underperforms on standardized tests, with 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency at just 33% in 2023-2024, compared to 57% for Broward County and 55% for the state. The school also has very high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75% to 77% over the past few years. Despite this, the school's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to improve student outcomes.

The high chronic absenteeism rates at West Hollywood Elementary, ranging from 27.5% to 37.8%, are a significant concern and may be contributing to the school's underperformance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism, such as socioeconomic factors or transportation issues, could be an important area of focus. Additionally, the school's racial makeup, with a high percentage of Hispanic students and a low percentage of White students, may be indicative of broader socioeconomic and educational disparities in the local community that need to be addressed through targeted interventions and community partnerships.

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.
