Henry D Perry Education Center

Summary:

Henry D Perry Education Center is an alternative public school located in Miramar, Florida, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 1,060 students. 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 from SchoolDigger.

While Henry D Perry Education Center is an alternative school, it performs significantly worse than other alternative schools in the area, such as Seagull School, Whispering Pines Exceptional Education Center, and Lanier-James Education Center, in terms of graduation rates, test scores, and chronic absenteeism. The school's four-year graduation rates range from 13.7% to 31.4%, which is much lower than the nearby schools, and its chronic absenteeism rates are extremely high, ranging from 74.4% to 90.0% over the past five years. Additionally, the school consistently performs poorly on standardized tests compared to the Broward County and Florida state averages.

Despite the school's challenges, it has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $6,271 in 2019-2020 to $10,089 in 2022-2023. However, this increased funding does not appear to have translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resource allocation. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio has fluctuated significantly, from 35.1 in 2021-2022 to 50.4 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the school's difficulties in providing personalized attention and support to 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.
