Nova Blanche Forman Elementary

Q: Is Nova Blanche Forman Elementary a good school?

Nova Blanche Forman Elementary ranks 823 rd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Nova Blanche Forman Elementary is a public K-5 school in Davie, Florida, serving a student population of 769 as part of the Broward County School District. While the school has some unique characteristics, its performance has declined in recent years compared to nearby schools.

Nova Blanche Forman stands out for its significantly higher percentage of African American students (64.24%) compared to surrounding schools, which range from 7.64% to 23.44% African American. The school also has lower test scores than the Broward County and Florida state averages across various subjects and grade levels, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 22%, much higher than the 9.7% to 35.6% range of nearby schools. Additionally, 71.91% of Nova Blanche Forman's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

These factors likely contribute to the school's declining performance and ranking over the years, dropping from a high of 430 out of 2,029 Florida elementary schools in 2012-2013 to 823 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024. Nearby schools like Imagine Schools Plantation Campus, Tropical Elementary School, and Somerset Academy Davie Charter School generally have higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism, and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Targeted interventions and support programs could potentially help address the unique challenges faced by the Nova Blanche Forman 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.
