Summary

West Hollywood Elementary School is a public school in Hollywood, FL, serving 414 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Broward district, and it faces significant academic challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a 1-star rating and ranks in the 12th percentile of Florida elementary schools, with only 31% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts—a stark contrast to nearby Hollywood Park Elementary School (61% proficiency) and Miramar Elementary School (65% proficiency). This gap in early literacy is a critical concern, as it often predicts future academic success.

Despite spending $13,537 per student—higher than many peers—the school struggles with persistently low performance and high chronic absenteeism at 30.9%. For comparison, Somerset Academy East Preparatory, a nearby charter school with a similar percentage of economically disadvantaged students, has a 0% chronic absenteeism rate and ranks in the 80th percentile. However, there is a glimmer of hope: 5th graders at West Hollywood show relative strength, with 51% proficiency in math and 49% in science, suggesting effective upper-grade instruction or interventions.

The most telling comparison is with Hollywood Park Elementary School, located less than a mile away and serving a similar student population. Hollywood Park is a 4-star school (72nd percentile) with a 15.6:1 student-teacher ratio, while West Hollywood has a 19.7:1 ratio and a 1-star rating. This stark difference highlights that school culture, leadership, and class sizes—not just demographics—drive outcomes. For parents, this means West Hollywood may require extra support at home, especially in early reading, and exploring nearby options like Pembroke Pines Elementary School or Orange Brook Elementary School could be worthwhile.
