North Broward Academy Of Excellence

Q: Is North Broward Academy Of Excellence a good school?

North Broward Academy Of Excellence ranks 1589 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

North Broward Academy Of Excellence is a public charter elementary school in North Lauderdale, Florida, serving 647 students from kindergarten to 5th grade, with a predominantly African American student population.

While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 17.2% is notably lower than nearby schools, its academic performance lags behind. North Broward Academy's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (79.75%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the surrounding schools. This high poverty level may contribute to the school's challenges, as it has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating in 2018-2019 to a 1-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year, placing it in the bottom 30% of Florida elementary schools.

Compared to nearby schools like Morrow Elementary School, Renaissance Charter School At University, and Broadview Elementary School, North Broward Academy Of Excellence is underperforming in several key areas, suggesting the need for targeted interventions to address chronic absenteeism, improve academic outcomes, and better support the high-poverty student population.

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.
