Indian Ridge Middle School

Summary:

Indian Ridge Middle School is a public middle school in Davie, Florida, serving 2,020 students in grades 6-8. It is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Indian Ridge Middle School consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores, including a 91% proficiency rate in Algebra 1 EOC compared to 58% for Broward County and 55% for Florida. The school also has a more diverse student population, with 35.4% White, 7.82% African American, 49.75% Hispanic, and 5.05% Asian students. While Indian Ridge has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 22.6% in 2022-2023, it still performs better than nearby schools like Parkway Middle School (36.3%) and Plantation Middle School (36.2%). Additionally, Indian Ridge has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (45.54%) compared to many neighboring schools, which range from 53.45% to 83.31%.

Indian Ridge Middle School's strong academic performance, diverse student population, and relatively lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to nearby schools are notable achievements. However, the district should continue to address equity and access issues to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, have the opportunity to succeed. The higher chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch rates at some neighboring schools suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a role in student engagement, and targeted interventions and support programs could help address these challenges.

Don't send your child to this school. This school is abusive mentally and emotionally towards children and they do it through bullying. And no one in the school board does nothing about it. They are all guilty of it and its disgusting what they do. My child endured a horrible traumatic experience because they treat them as a prisoner. DON'T PUT YOUR CHILD THROUGH THIS SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.

I find that this school is overrated by parents who really don't know this school all to well. A lot of bullying by teachers towards students happen. Also the the Principal has poor attitude and is rude towards parents and women. I wouldn't send your child here at all. Terrible School .. 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.
