Maplewood Elementary School

Q: Is Maplewood Elementary School a good school?

Maplewood Elementary School ranks 873 rd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Maplewood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Coral Springs, Florida, serving 587 students in grades PK-5. As part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida, Maplewood has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Maplewood stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (40.89%) and African American (26.75%) students compared to nearby schools like Riverside Elementary. However, the school also faces challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (32.7%) than the Broward County average (25.3%). While Maplewood's test scores are generally on par with or slightly below the Broward and Florida averages, the school has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade science proficiency (54%) exceeding the Broward (52%) and Florida (53%) averages.

Maplewood's higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (60.48%) compared to nearby schools like Westchester Elementary (58.59%) and its higher per-student spending ($12,794) than the state average suggest the school has access to more resources. This could be leveraged to address the chronic absenteeism issue and improve student outcomes, which currently lag behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools like Riverside Elementary.

Principle Itty is terrible and has been pulling the school down since she started. There is no communication between school and parents. So far the teacher’s have been great, but we need to get rid of this principle. Close Quote

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.
