Summary:

Cresthaven Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pompano Beach, Florida, serving 477 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in the state.

Cresthaven Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (52.83%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 12.77% to 88.63% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 33.9% to 41.8% in recent years, significantly higher than the 23.4% to 46.4% range of nearby schools. Cresthaven's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages, with 3rd-grade ELA proficiency at 51% compared to 57% for Broward and 55% for Florida. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.02% to 83.86% in recent years.

While Cresthaven has seen a steady increase in spending per student, from $9,913 in 2019-2020 to $14,694 in 2022-2023, this higher funding has not translated to improved academic performance. In contrast, some nearby schools, such as Palmview Elementary and Sanders Park Elementary, have higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates, despite serving similar student populations. Understanding the practices and strategies employed at these higher-performing schools could provide valuable insights for Cresthaven as it works to address its challenges and improve educational outcomes for its students.

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.
