Summary

Championship Academy Of Distinction At Hollywood is a small K-5 charter school in Hollywood, FL, serving 256 students as part of the Broward school district. This school has become a remarkable turnaround story, rising from the bottom 5% of Florida elementary schools in 2023-2024 to the 28th percentile in 2025-2026—its highest ranking in nearly a decade. The most dramatic change driving this improvement is a stunning drop in chronic absenteeism, which fell from 41.7% in 2022-2023 to just 6.4% in 2023-2024, the lowest rate among all nearby schools like Watkins Elementary School (27.5%) and Colbert Elementary School (30.5%).

However, the school’s academic performance is highly uneven across grade levels. In the most recent test scores, 4th graders excelled, with 68% proficient in English Language Arts and 78% in Math—both above district averages. Yet 5th graders in the same year scored just 44% in ELA and 38% in Math, well below district benchmarks, and only 30% were proficient in Science compared to the district’s 63%. This suggests that success at Championship Academy is heavily cohort-dependent, with one grade performing exceptionally while others struggle. Nearby charter Bridgeprep Academy Of Broward K-8 shows a more consistent pattern, with older students scoring 82% in Algebra 1 and 86% in Civics.

Another notable feature is the school’s cost-efficiency. Championship Academy spends just $9,075 per student, far less than neighbors like Watkins ($16,638) and Lake Forest Elementary School ($14,038), yet it achieves a higher state ranking than several of them. The school’s free/reduced lunch rate has also swung wildly, from 77.68% in 2022-2023 to just 2.73% in 2024-2025, a change that likely reflects shifts in student population or reporting rather than local economic trends. For parents, this school offers a compelling example of how improving attendance can boost academics, but the inconsistent grade-level results mean it’s important to look closely at how your child’s specific grade is performing.
