Summary

Mirror Lake Elementary School in Plantation, FL, is a mid-sized school serving 639 students in grades PK through 5 within the Broward district, where 48% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Mirror Lake is currently on an upward trajectory, earning a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year after a 2-star rating the previous year. This improvement is driven by standout performance in 5th grade, where 70% of students are proficient in English Language Arts—the highest among nearby traditional public elementary schools and above both the district (67%) and state (61%) averages. The school also shows a remarkable "V-shaped" recovery in 3rd grade ELA, jumping from 38% proficiency to 59% in just one year, the largest single-year improvement among neighboring schools. However, this success is fragile: the current 4th-grade cohort (49% ELA proficiency) is significantly weaker than the 5th-grade cohort, meaning the school's overall rating could dip when the strong 5th graders move on.

Mirror Lake invests heavily in its students, spending $16,870 per pupil—the highest in its comparison group—and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.5:1. Yet, this spending doesn't always translate to top scores; for example, Plantation Park Elementary spends less ($13,016) but achieves higher proficiency across most subjects and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (23.0% vs. Mirror Lake's 32-34%). Interestingly, nearby Peters Elementary shares a similar demographic profile but excels in early grades while Mirror Lake shines in later grades, suggesting different instructional strengths. Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent challenge for Mirror Lake, though it aligns with the district average and is lower than several nearby schools like Royal Palm Elementary (41.1%).
