New Renaissance Middle School

Summary:

New Renaissance Middle School is a public middle school in Miramar, Florida, serving 1,107 students in grades 6-8. 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.

New Renaissance Middle School stands out for its high percentage of African American students (69.47%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 17.76% to 50.75% African American. The school also consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages in several End-of-Course (EOC) exams, including Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. However, it lags behind in 8th grade Statewide Science/Science and FAST/English Language Arts and Math assessments across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 5.9% in 2019-2020 to 26.3% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Despite its strong performance in certain EOC exams, New Renaissance Middle School has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 649th out of 956 Florida middle schools in 2012-2013 to 947th out of 1,196 in 2023-2024. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 71.12% to 75.61% over the past three years, significantly higher than the nearby schools, which range from 33.5% to 76.38%. While the school has seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $8,254 in 2019-2020 to $10,786 in 2022-2023, this increased spending does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes.

Worst place ever. Majority of teachers are snooty, yet show up to parent conferences in flip flops. They seems to like ghetto teachers. Administration is not honest. Horrible place!!! 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.
