Pembroke Pines Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with a student body that is 48.56% Hispanic, 37.06% African American, and 7.78% White.

While the school's test scores are generally below the district and state averages, there are some areas of strength, such as the 3rd grade math proficiency rate of 68% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the Broward County and Florida averages.

When comparing Pembroke Pines Elementary to nearby schools, some interesting patterns emerge. Annabel C. Perry Pk-8 and Sunshine Elementary have similar racial demographics and performance levels, while schools like Sheridan Park Elementary and Hollywood Park Elementary have higher overall test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates. Additionally, charter schools like Somerset Academy East Preparatory tend to have stronger academic performance, but also serve a smaller, more targeted 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.
