Pompano Beach Elementary School

Q: Is Pompano Beach Elementary School a good school?

Pompano Beach Elementary School ranks 1536 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Pompano Beach Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 486 students in grades PK-5 in Pompano Beach, Florida, which is part of the Broward County School District. Despite the school's high per-student spending, it has consistently received low ratings from SchoolDigger, with a 2 out of 5 star rating for the 2023-2024 school year.

Pompano Beach Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (59.88%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 16.45% to 88.63% African American. The school also struggles with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.5% to 48.4% in recent years, much higher than the 23.4% to 46.4% range of nearby schools. Academically, Pompano Beach Elementary consistently underperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with only 37% of 5th graders proficient in science, compared to 52% for Broward and 53% for Florida. Additionally, the school has an exceptionally high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.33% to 85.75%, significantly higher than the 55.7% to 89.79% range of nearby schools.

Despite the high per-student spending at Pompano Beach Elementary, the school's academic performance remains persistently low, ranking in the bottom quarter of Florida elementary schools for the past several years. While the school's demographic factors may contribute to the challenges, nearby schools with similar demographics, such as Sanders Park Elementary and Robert C. Markham Elementary, also struggle with low test scores, suggesting that the issues facing Pompano Beach Elementary may be systemic within the broader Pompano Beach community.

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.
