Lauderdale Lakes Middle School

Summary:

Lauderdale Lakes Middle School is a public middle school serving 816 students in grades 6-8 in Lauderdale Lakes, Florida, which is part of the Broward County School District. The school has consistently been rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lower-performing middle schools in the state.

Lauderdale Lakes Middle School stands out for several key factors. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (78.19%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 26.75% to 90.69% African American. The school also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.1% to 29.2% in recent years, much higher than the 12.4% to 39.5% range of nearby schools. Academically, Lauderdale Lakes Middle School underperforms compared to Broward County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, with only 23-34% of students proficient in FAST/ELA in 2023-2024, compared to 50-57% for Broward County and 50-54% for Florida. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.23% to 78.8% in recent years.

While the challenges facing Lauderdale Lakes Middle School are concerning, it's important to note that many of the nearby schools, such as Margate Middle School, Ramblewood Middle School, and James S. Rickards Middle School, also struggle with low test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates. This suggests that the issues at Lauderdale Lakes Middle School are not unique and may be indicative of broader systemic challenges within the Broward County school district.

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.
