Summary

Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School is a large, high-performing public charter school in Pembroke Pines, FL, serving 2,046 students in grades K-5 within the Broward district.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (83-85%) and Math (87-91%) far exceeding both district and state averages. For example, 3rd-grade Math proficiency is 91%, compared to the district's 73% and the state's 66%. This level of achievement is unmatched by nearby schools, including the next-best performer, Pembroke Lakes Elementary School. Another key differentiator is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.9%, which is less than half the district rate (33.6%) and the state rate (31.4%). In contrast, nearby schools like Palm Cove Elementary School (34.4%) and Coconut Palm Elementary School (29.3%) have rates more than double that of Pembroke Pines Charter.

Despite its massive size—over three times larger than the next largest nearby school (Sea Castle Elementary School with 878 students)—Pembroke Pines Charter maintains a high student-teacher ratio of 24.3:1 and achieves outstanding results with lower per-student spending ($11,579) than almost all of its peers. For instance, Palm Cove Elementary spends $15,886 per student but has significantly lower test scores and higher absenteeism. The school has a consistent history of excellence, ranking in the 89th percentile or higher for the past decade and earning a 5-star rating in 8 of the last 10 years. This sustained performance contrasts with schools like Pines Lakes Elementary School, which has fluctuated between a 1-star and 3-star rating in recent years.

This school, besides just a few teachers that really care for the student education instead seen the kids like data or numbers. Unfortunately, most teachers do not develop a relationship with the students and instead only focus on them as data and numbers... This school only care about funding. the don't care about the success of the children.. me personally I make a terrible mistake bringing my son to this school. the public system cares more for the kids that the FSU chapter they only care about the number. "technology school".. However Administration leaves a lot to be desired and also focuses less on students being developed wholistically and much more on the short term of the students producing good test score to reflect on the school. I agree with the reviews from other parents of children with learning differences (who are able to be mainstreamed) that this charter system fails children who don't fit neatly inside the box they've provided for "typically-devloping" children. General Ed classroom teachers (while 'most' are well-intentioned) are not equipped to help a child that has been identified as needing extra support. If your elementary-aged child has or needs a 504/IEP (without needing a self-contained classroom), my advice is to stick with public schools or use your McKay for a school who can offer your child appropriate support otherwise, you run the risk of your child (and yourself) being completely frustrated and miserable. We could not be more satisfied with our decision to leave and go back to a public school. Close Quote
