Summary:
The 33319 zip code area in Florida is home to two elementary schools - Central Charter School (grades K-8) and Park Lakes Elementary School (grades PK-5). Both schools serve predominantly African American student populations and face significant academic and socioeconomic challenges, with high poverty levels and below-average performance compared to the Broward district and the state of Florida.
Central Charter School stands out for its extremely high percentage of African American students (94.63%) and its consistently low statewide ranking, placing in the bottom 25% of Florida elementary schools. However, the school performs relatively well in Algebra 1 and Civics End-of-Course exams, outpacing the district and state averages. Conversely, Park Lakes Elementary School has a more diverse student population, with a mix of African American (79.9%), Hispanic (16.19%), and other racial groups, but its academic performance in English Language Arts and Math is generally lower than the district and state averages.
Both schools face significant challenges, including high poverty levels (99.92% of students at Central Charter School and 82.16% at Park Lakes Elementary School receive free or reduced-price lunch), low academic proficiency rates in core subjects, and high chronic absenteeism rates. These factors likely contribute to the schools' overall underperformance and highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the equity and opportunity gaps faced by these students.
