Summary

Oriole Elementary School in Lauderdale Lakes, FL, serves 670 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Broward school district, with 65% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch. The school has historically struggled academically, but recent data shows a promising upward trend, including its highest state ranking in years (29th percentile) and a 1-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year. The most exciting development is a dramatic turnaround in 5th Grade Science, where proficiency jumped from 28% in 2023-2024 to 60% in 2025-2026, matching the state average—a 32-percentage-point increase that no nearby school has matched.

Despite this science success, Oriole faces persistent challenges, especially in English Language Arts (ELA), where proficiency rates for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades (50%, 45%, and 47%) fall well below district and state averages. Chronic absenteeism is also a major concern, with 35.6% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024, higher than nearby schools like Castle Hill Elementary (27.7%) and Park Lakes Elementary (34.9%). Interestingly, Oriole spends $14,118 per student, which is more than higher-performing neighbors like Park Lakes ($11,775) and the top-rated Somerset Village Academy ($9,746), raising questions about how resources are being used.

For parents, Oriole offers a school that is showing signs of improvement, particularly in science, but still has work to do in reading and attendance. A valuable comparison is Park Lakes Elementary, just 1.17 miles away, which serves a similar student population but consistently outperforms Oriole in every subject and grade level, earning a 3-star rating. Meanwhile, Somerset Village Academy, a charter school with even higher poverty rates (89.76% free/reduced lunch), achieves the highest test scores in the area with lower spending, proving that strong outcomes are possible. Oriole’s challenge is to replicate its science success across other subjects and tackle absenteeism to close the gap with these nearby schools.
