Summary:

Avant Garde Academy K-5 Broward is a public charter elementary school in Hollywood, Florida, serving 1,025 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Broward school district, which is ranked 30th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Avant Garde Academy K-5 Broward has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic and White students compared to nearby schools, the school faces several challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rates have significantly increased, reaching 45.5% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is notably higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's test scores, particularly in 5th-grade science and 3rd-grade English Language Arts, lag behind the district and state averages. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 57.46% in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the district and state averages for nearby schools.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Dania Elementary School, Colbert Elementary School, and Beachside Montessori Village, Avant Garde Academy K-5 Broward's performance, as measured by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger star rating, has declined over the past few years, from a 3-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 2-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's relatively low spending per student, at $7,211 in the 2022-2023 school year, may be a contributing factor to its declining performance.

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.
