Summary

Forest Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school in Coral Springs, FL, serving 624 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Broward County School District, which ranks in the top third of Florida districts.

Forest Hills has undergone a remarkable turnaround in recent years. After receiving a 1-star rating in 2020-2021, the school has climbed to a 4-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year, now ranking in the 78th percentile statewide. This dramatic improvement from the 28th percentile just five years prior sets it apart from many nearby schools. For example, while Maplewood Elementary (84th percentile) and Parkside Elementary (73rd percentile) are also high-performing, neither has shown the same steep climb from a low base. The school's math performance is particularly impressive—81% of 3rd graders and 87% of 4th graders were proficient in math in 2025-2026, well above district and state averages. This strength in math is a key differentiator, as Forest Hills outperforms most traditional public schools in the area in these grades.

Despite the academic success, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 27.2% in 2023-2024, which is better than district and state averages but higher than some nearby schools like Imagine School at Broward (1.3%) and Rise Academy School of Science and Technology (5.4%). The school's spending of $13,685 per student and student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 are average for the area, suggesting that the turnaround is driven by effective instruction and leadership rather than extra resources. Science scores have been more variable, with 5th-grade proficiency at 68% in 2025-2026 after a dip to 51% the previous year, while math scores have shown steady improvement across all grades.
