Summary

Lauderhill Paul Turner Elementary School is a public school in Lauderdale Lakes, FL, serving 590 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County School District, where a majority of families qualify for economic assistance.

The most exciting news for parents is the school's dramatic turnaround. After years of struggling, Lauderhill Paul Turner has jumped from the 7th percentile statewide in 2020-2021 to the 50th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. This recent surge is driven by an exceptional 5th-grade class that outperforms nearly every nearby school. In 2025-2026, 77% of 5th graders were proficient in math (compared to 69% district-wide) and 70% were proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 67% district-wide). This performance even surpasses its closest neighbor, Royal Palm Elementary School, in every subject and grade level tested. The school has also made strong progress in reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 44.5% to 32.9% over two years, though this rate remains slightly above the district average.

While the 5th-grade success is a clear bright spot, the school faces a key challenge in its younger grades. In 2025-2026, 3rd and 4th graders scored well below district averages in both math and ELA, indicating a foundational skills gap that needs attention. The school spends $13,331 per student, a moderate amount that appears to be yielding a better return on investment than some higher-spending neighbors like Broward Estates Elementary School, but it is still outperformed by schools with similar spending like Peters Elementary School. The big question for parents is whether the school can replicate its 5th-grade magic in the lower grades to build a consistently high-performing school for all students.
