Davie Elementary School

Summary:

Davie Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 680 students in grades PK-5 in Davie, Florida, which is part of the Broward County school district. While the school has a diverse student population, it faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently lower test scores compared to district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students (77.79%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite spending more per student ($11,970) than nearby schools, which range from $6,888 to $12,214 per student, Davie Elementary's academic performance remains below average. Nearby schools, such as Silver Ridge Elementary, Tropical Elementary, and Cooper City Elementary, generally outperform Davie Elementary on key metrics like test scores and chronic absenteeism. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these schools could provide valuable insights for Davie Elementary as it works to improve student outcomes.

Addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate at Davie Elementary, which reached as high as 42.6% in the 2021-2022 school year, will be a critical step in improving the school's performance. Additionally, the school may need to examine how resources are allocated and utilized to support student learning, as simply increasing funding does not appear to be the sole solution. By implementing evidence-based strategies and learning from the successes of nearby schools, Davie Elementary can work towards providing a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
