Coconut Creek Elementary School

Q: Is Coconut Creek Elementary School a good school?

Coconut Creek Elementary School ranks 1267 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Coconut Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 475 students in grades PK-5 in Coconut Creek, Florida, which is part of the Broward County School District. The school has a predominantly African American (41.68%) and Hispanic (23.79%) student population, with lower percentages of White (27.58%) and Asian (3.37%) students.

Despite relatively high per-student spending of $14,820 in 2022-2023, Coconut Creek Elementary faces several challenges. The school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 8.4% in 2019-2020 to 27.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate was 41%, compared to 52% for the district and 53% for the state. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 63.34% to 67.32% over the past few years.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Rise Academy School Of Science And Technology, Coconut Creek Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. The school's performance has also declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and lower test scores. These challenges suggest that factors beyond just funding may be contributing to the school's struggles, and further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to improve student outcomes at Coconut Creek Elementary.

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.
