Better than 97% of Florida high schools

Summary

McFatter Technical College in Davie, FL, is a magnet high school serving 596 students in grades 9-12 within the Broward County Public School District, and it consistently ranks among the top 4% of all high schools in Florida, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger every year since 2015-2016.

McFatter’s academic performance is exceptional across the board. For example, in 9th grade English Language Arts, 92% of students are proficient, compared to 78% at nearby Cooper City High School and 72% at Nova High School. In U.S. History, McFatter achieves a 97% proficiency rate, while Sheridan Technical College—another top-ranked technical magnet—reaches 98%. The school also boasts a near-perfect graduation rate, hitting 100% in four of the last five years, and a low chronic absenteeism rate of 21.7%, which is far better than the district average of 33.6% and dramatically lower than schools like Hollywood Hills High School (52.3%) or South Plantation High School (51.7%).

What makes McFatter stand out is its "technical college" model, which combines a small enrollment with a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.3:1—much lower than the 25:1 or higher ratios at large comprehensive high schools like Plantation High School or Cooper City. This focused environment, along with a selective admissions process, appears to drive success more than spending alone, as McFatter’s per-student spending ($11,555) is moderate compared to peers. For parents seeking a high-achieving, personalized learning environment, McFatter Technical College offers a proven formula that consistently outperforms even the best traditional high schools in the area.
