Broward Elementary School

Summary:

Broward Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tampa, Florida, serving 227 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Hillsborough School District, which is ranked 45 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating.

Broward Elementary stands out from nearby schools in several key ways. It has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (61.23%) compared to other local schools, which range from 5.77% to 86.58% African American. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 36.5% to 48.3% over the past few years, much higher than the 9.7% to 50.0% seen at nearby schools. Academically, Broward's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly lower than the district and state averages, with only 18-26% of students proficient in 2023-2024, compared to 49-55% for the district and state. Additionally, Broward has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.99% to 97.82%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

While Broward Elementary faces significant challenges, some nearby schools, such as Graham Elementary and Edison Elementary, also struggle with low performance and high poverty levels. The high per-student spending at Broward, ranging from $14,188 to $19,168, suggests that additional resources are being directed to the school, but this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the complex issues at Broward Elementary will likely require a multifaceted approach, including targeted interventions and support for students, to help improve student success.

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.
