of 838 Florida High Schools

Better than 98% of Florida high schools

Summary

Atlantic Technical College in Margate, FL, is a public magnet/technical high school serving 680 students in grades 9 through 12 within the Broward school district, and it consistently ranks among the very best high schools in Florida, earning a perfect 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for every year on record.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance and near-perfect graduation rate. For the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 13th out of 838 high schools in Florida (98th percentile). Its proficiency rates are dramatically higher than nearby traditional high schools: 94% in 10th-grade ELA compared to 64% at Coral Springs High School and 46% at Coconut Creek High School. In Biology 1, Atlantic Tech achieved 96% proficiency versus 74% at Coral Springs and 57% at Coconut Creek. The school has also maintained a perfect 100% graduation rate for four of the last five years, while nearby schools like Monarch High School (96.2%) and Blanche Ely High School (95.0%) lag behind. Chronic absenteeism at Atlantic Tech is just 18.8%, far lower than the district average and the rates at neighboring schools, which range from 44.1% to 57.7%.

A key advantage is the school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.1:1, less than half that of nearby traditional high schools. This focused, career-oriented model appears to be a powerful driver of success, even with a moderate level of economic disadvantage (32% free/reduced lunch). The contrast is stark when compared to Dave Thomas Education Center West, which shares the same campus but serves a very different population, with a 43.2% graduation rate and 79.9% chronic absenteeism. Atlantic Tech's sustained excellence over a decade—never ranking below the 95th percentile—makes it a reliably top-tier choice for families seeking a high-achieving, structured learning environment.
