Suned High Of South Broward

Summary:

Suned High Of South Broward is a public charter high school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving 261 students in grades 9-12. However, this school stands out for all the wrong reasons, consistently ranking in the bottom 10-15% of Florida high schools and receiving a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low academic performance.

The school's struggles are evident across several key metrics. Its 4-year graduation rate is alarmingly low, ranging from just 10.1% to 17.5% over the past 4 years, far below the state and district averages. Suned High Of South Broward also has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 96.6% to 99.1%, much higher than its peers. When it comes to test scores, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently well below the state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels. Interestingly, the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch has increased from 7.85% in 2020-2021 to 28.35% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

In contrast, nearby schools like McFatter Technical College, South Plantation High School, and Dillard 6-12 have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and test scores. The stark contrast suggests that Suned High Of South Broward may be facing unique challenges in engaging and supporting its students, which could be contributing to the poor outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach that focuses on improving instructional practices, increasing student support services, and ensuring the school has the necessary resources and staffing to meet the needs of its diverse 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.
