Flamingo Elementary School is a public elementary school in Davie, Florida, serving 658 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

Flamingo Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of Hispanic students (61.4%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 33.25% to 57.9%. The school has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 6.6% in 2019-2020 to 27.7% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the 12.7% to 31.1% range at nearby schools. While Flamingo's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the Broward and Florida averages, the school excels in 5th grade Science but lags in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts. Notably, the school has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (62.31%) compared to the 2.1% to 56.75% range at nearby schools.

Flamingo Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below nearby schools like Griffin Elementary and Everglades Elementary, which consistently outperform Flamingo on test scores. Schools like Imagine Schools Plantation Campus and Atlantic Montessori Charter School West Campus have exceptional test scores. The higher spending per student at Flamingo Elementary compared to nearby schools may not be translating into improved academic outcomes for all students, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address the unique challenges facing this school.

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.
