Summary

Deerfield Park Elementary School is a public magnet elementary school in Deerfield Beach, Florida, serving 460 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending, ranging from $10,872 to $14,227 over the past few years, Deerfield Park Elementary consistently underperforms academically compared to nearby schools. The school's test scores are 10-15 percentage points below the Broward County and Florida averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 41.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Somerset Pines Academy and Somerset Academy Pompano, Deerfield Park Elementary's academic performance is notably lower. These nearby charter schools consistently outperform Deerfield Park Elementary in test scores and other metrics. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Deerfield Park Elementary, ranging from 78.04% to 90.74%, suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income population, which may be a contributing factor to the school's underperformance.
