Summary

Hollywood Academy Of Arts And Science Middle School is a high-performing charter school in Hollywood, FL, serving 461 students in grades 6-8 and stands out as a 5-star institution in the Broward district, which ranks 23rd out of 70 districts in Florida.

This school is a true academic powerhouse, consistently ranking in the top 10% of all Florida middle schools. Its test scores are dramatically higher than nearby schools. For example, 97% of 8th graders and 92% of 7th graders are proficient in math, compared to just 24% at Driftwood Middle School and 37% at Apollo Middle School. In English Language Arts, 84% of 6th graders are proficient, far exceeding the 55% at Driftwood and 64% at Apollo. The school also achieves perfect scores on advanced End-of-Course exams, with 100% of students proficient in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. Even when compared to top schools from the higher-ranked Miami-Dade district, like Highland Oaks Middle School, Hollywood Academy outperforms them significantly—for instance, 92% of its 7th graders are proficient in math versus 31% at Highland Oaks.

What makes this success even more impressive is that the school achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($8,122) than nearby schools like McNicol Middle School ($13,148) and a higher student-teacher ratio of 23:1. However, parents should note that chronic absenteeism has risen to 31.1%, which is a potential concern. Also, a dramatic drop in the free/reduced lunch percentage from 60% to 1.52% in one year is unusual and worth investigating. Despite these issues, the school’s consistent academic excellence makes it a standout choice in the area.

My daughter has been in HAAS for three years. And we are glad that we chose this school due to good academic performance, safety, discipline, pleasant atmosphere and convenient location of the school. I would especially like to highlight the excellent teachers of the seventh grade: the teacher of Civics Ms. Singh and Math teacher Mr. Eriza. Close Quote
