Summary

Orange Brook Elementary School in Hollywood, FL, is a public school serving 667 students in grades PK through 5 within the Broward district, and it stands out for its dramatic academic turnaround after years of low performance.

The most important thing to know about Orange Brook is that it is a school on the rise. After a long period of low rankings, the school has made impressive gains, jumping from the 13th percentile in 2021-2022 to the 43rd percentile in the most recent ranking. This improvement is backed by real test score increases, such as 5th Grade Science proficiency soaring from 17% to 54% and 3rd Grade Math climbing from 43% to 66% in just a few years. A unique strength is the school's "math-first" profile, where math scores are significantly higher than English Language Arts scores—for example, 4th graders scored 75% in math compared to 46% in ELA. This is a much larger gap than what you see at nearby schools like Hollywood Hills Elementary or Ben Gamla Charter School.

However, the school faces a significant challenge with chronic absenteeism, which has remained high at 36.5%—higher than the district average and much higher than top-performing peers like Ben Gamla Charter (21.2%). Interestingly, Orange Brook now outperforms several nearby charter schools, including Sunshine Elementary Charter and Championship Academy of Distinction at Hollywood, showing that "charter" is not a guarantee of quality in this area. While per-student spending at Orange Brook ($13,731) is above average, the highest-performing school in the area, Ben Gamla Charter, spends much less ($8,364), suggesting that instructional strategy and school culture are key drivers of success. For parents, Orange Brook represents a school that has successfully reversed a long decline, and its future success will likely depend on tackling attendance issues and continuing to boost English scores to match its strong math performance.
