Summary

Attucks Middle School in Hollywood, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 632 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Broward County Public School District, and it presents a unique mix of strengths and challenges for families to consider.

The most striking feature of Attucks is the dramatic gap between its advanced and standard academic programs. In advanced courses like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology, the school excels, with 89% to 93% of students scoring proficient—matching top performers like the nearby Hollywood Academy Of Arts And Science Middle School. However, in standard grade-level subjects, Attucks struggles significantly; for example, only 35% of 6th graders and 36% of 8th graders are proficient in math, compared to district averages of 63% and 47%. This "tale of two curriculums" suggests a highly effective advanced program that may be isolated from the rest of the school. Additionally, Attucks has the highest per-student spending among nearby schools at $13,934—nearly 70% more than the high-performing Hollywood Academy—yet its overall academic outcomes remain low, raising questions about resource allocation. A persistent crisis is chronic absenteeism, with 38.1% of students missing 10% or more of the school year, the second-highest rate in the area and a likely driver of poor core performance.

On a positive note, the school has seen a dramatic demographic shift, with the free/reduced lunch rate dropping from 75.3% to 47.0% in just two years, a change not seen in other nearby schools. While Attucks’ state ranking remains low (24th percentile), it has shown a slow upward trend over the past decade. For parents, the key takeaway is that Attucks offers exceptional opportunities for students in advanced courses but faces significant hurdles in standard academics and attendance. Comparing it to the nearby Hollywood Academy Of Arts And Science Middle School—a 5-star school with far lower spending and poverty rates—highlights that Attucks’ challenges are tied more to school culture and instructional strategies than to funding or location alone.
