Summary

Indian Ridge Middle School in Davie, FL, is a large public school serving 1,833 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Broward County Public School District. The school currently holds a 3-star rating, a decline from its consistent 4-star performance before the pandemic, but it has shown signs of recovery and remains a school of two distinct worlds.

Indian Ridge is a powerhouse for advanced students, with near-perfect proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (91%), Geometry (100%), and Biology 1 (99%)—matching or exceeding top-tier schools like Pioneer Middle School. However, the school faces a stark "8th Grade Math Cliff": only 21% of students in standard 8th-grade math are proficient, the lowest rate among all nearby schools and far below the state average of 61%. This creates a massive achievement gap within the same building, where advanced students thrive while many others struggle with grade-level concepts. On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has been steadily declining to 24.6%, which is better than the district average of 33.6% and much lower than nearby Plantation Middle School (44.3%).

Indian Ridge stands out for its remarkable efficiency, spending just $9,351 per student—the lowest in the comparison group and significantly less than Pines Middle School ($13,358) or Plantation Middle School ($14,485). Despite this, it outperforms many higher-spending peers. The school has also experienced a dramatic socioeconomic shift, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch dropping from 45.5% to 29% in just two years. While Indian Ridge matches Pioneer Middle School in advanced coursework, it lags behind in supporting all students, particularly in grade-level math and English, suggesting that additional investment in targeted interventions could help bridge the gap.

Don't send your child to this school. This school is abusive mentally and emotionally towards children and they do it through bullying. And no one in the school board does nothing about it. They are all guilty of it and its disgusting what they do. My child endured a horrible traumatic experience because they treat them as a prisoner. DON'T PUT YOUR CHILD THROUGH THIS SCHOOL EXPERIENCE.

I find that this school is overrated by parents who really don't know this school all to well. A lot of bullying by teachers towards students happen. Also the the Principal has poor attitude and is rude towards parents and women. I wouldn't send your child here at all. Terrible School .. Close Quote
