of 2,240 Florida Elementary Schools

Better than 93% of Florida elementary schools

Summary

Hollywood Academy Of Arts & Science is a high-performing K-5 charter school in Hollywood, FL, serving 1,140 students and consistently ranking in the top 10% of all Florida elementary schools, currently placing 154th out of 2,240 schools statewide.

This school is an academic standout, dramatically outperforming both the Broward district and state averages in every subject. For example, 95% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to roughly 65% district-wide, and 84% of 3rd graders are proficient in English Language Arts. The school also boasts a remarkable 100% proficiency rate in 6th Grade Math for four consecutive years, indicating a strong advanced math program. Despite a high student-teacher ratio of 23.2, the school achieves these results with impressive efficiency, spending just $10,303 per student—far less than nearby struggling schools like Hollywood Central Elementary ($19,382) and Oakridge Elementary ($18,657). Its chronic absenteeism rate of 24.9% is also better than the district average of 33.6%.

Interestingly, Hollywood Academy is an academic island in its neighborhood. While it ranks in the 93rd percentile, the only nearby school that competes is Beachside Montessori Village (97th percentile), which actually outperforms it in some areas. In stark contrast, other nearby schools like Colbert Elementary and Sunshine Elementary Charter School rank in the bottom 40% of Florida schools. This makes school choice a critical factor for families in the area. One notable data point is a dramatic drop in the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, from 57.5% to 8.2% in one year, which may reflect a shift in the student population and is worth investigating further.

I cannot say enough great things about this school! was so nervous at first about my daughter starting
"big girl school," but the entire experience has been amazing. She adjusted so quickly, and everything has been so smooth. The staff is truly wonderful -anytime I send an email or message on TalkingPoints, they respond super fast, which makes me feel so supported as a parent.
I'm honestly so happy and thankful that this is where my daughter gets to begin her education journey.
Seeing how much she enjoys going to school every day means the world to me. I would highly recommend this school to any parent! Close Quote

I would like to share my impressions of the school. We are very pleased with the quality of education and the warm, supportive atmosphere created by the teachers and administration. The educators are true professionals — attentive to each student and genuinely invested in their success. Our child goes to school with joy, feels confident, and is gaining strong knowledge.

What we especially appreciate is the individual approach, the friendly environment, and the school’s dedication not only to academics but also to character development. There is also a wide variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, and programs that keep students engaged and inspired.

We are grateful to the entire school staff for their hard work and care for the children! Close Quote

Top notch school and education. Their high achieving academic schedule is one of the best and keeps our kids up to par and past the normal. Even for the children that are are semi-struggling in a subject, they are STILL past the average for their grade level compared to other schools. The staff and teachers are amazing and they seem to know each kid personally along with the parents. It's feels good dropping off my son in the morning and they employees know him by first name.
Would defiantly recommend and do recommend this school to everyone. Close Quote

Fortunately, two of my children immediately got into this school when they arrived in the USA. I am satisfied with the high level of teaching, after which my daughter was easily able to enter high school with a level of 10/10. It is very important that the school provides very good security. Our home teachers really help me monitor the learning process through regular communication. I am also pleased that we were offered additional classes and sessions with a psychologist to help the children adapt. Best school in the area Close Quote

My son is in 3rd grade and we have had a great experience so far. The school offers a safe enviroment, I have not heard of bullying yet or other negative experiences. We had good teachers up until now, always communicating, parent conferences, online parent-teachers -principal meetings, in person meetings, field trips, olympiads. The school has an engaging curriculum. Close Quote

We've been thrilled with our kindergartener's experience at this school. The teacher is fantastic, creating engaging lessons while maintaining academic rigor. The school's central location is convenient, although space limitations and nearby construction can be challenging. However, the excellent parent communication, emphasis on diversity, and dedicated teachers make it all worthwhile. Highly recommend! Close Quote

My child has been at HAAS for 3 years and it has been a positive experience overall. I am confident he is safe when I drop him off at school, which is a priority for me as a parent. Further, his academic achievements are significant, with high scores in the various standardized tests and continued growth year over year. I do wish they had a better program for gifted students to allow them to engage in different types of instruction and activities that help children with giftedness succeed. Close Quote

This commitment to communication fosters a strong sense of community involvement.
Moreover, HAAS stands out as a leader in integrating technology into education. Teachers utilize innovative applications and tools designed to engage students in learning while making it enjoyable. This forward-thinking approach not only enhances academic performance but also equips students with valuable digital skills for the future.
Academically, HAAS maintains a stellar reputation, thanks to its highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff. They are adept at delivering instruction at the highest level, ensuring students receive a rigorous and enriching education.
Furthermore, HAAS cultivates a culture of collaboration between students, families, and the school, working together to shape a brighter future through exemplary education and values. As a parent, I am thrilled with the experience my child is having at HAAS and wholeheartedly recommend it to other parents. Enrolling their children at HAAS ensures they will be well-prepared for high school and equipped with a solid foundation for college. Proud to be a part of the HAAS parents community! Close Quote
