Summary:

Bayview Elementary School is a public K-5 school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving a diverse student population of 552. This high-performing school consistently outshines the surrounding area, ranking among the top 1% of elementary schools in the state.

Bayview Elementary's academic excellence is evident in its exceptional standardized test scores, which far exceed the averages for Broward County and the state of Florida.

This diversity is in contrast to many of the nearby schools, such as Walker Elementary School and Sunland Park Academy, which have much higher concentrations of minority students. Additionally, Bayview Elementary has significantly lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to its neighbors, further contributing to its academic success.

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.
