Summary:
The 33069 zip code area in Broward County, Florida is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools serve predominantly minority and economically disadvantaged student populations, with high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility and chronic absenteeism.
Two schools stand out in this area: Charles Drew Elementary School and Cross Creek School. Charles Drew Elementary has the highest performance on state assessments, with 81% of 5th graders proficient or better in Science, compared to the Broward and Florida averages of 52% and 53%. Cross Creek School, an alternative school, has an impressive 87.5% four-year graduation rate, significantly higher than the 25% rate at Cypress Run Alternative Center.
However, the data also reveals significant challenges across the schools in the 33069 zip code. Proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are well below district and state averages, particularly at the elementary level. Chronic absenteeism rates range from 40.4% to 75.6%, posing a major barrier to student learning. The wide range in per-student spending, from $12,670 to $77,164, raises questions about resource allocation and whether higher-spending schools are achieving better outcomes.
