Summary

Deerfield Beach Elementary School is a public school in Deerfield Beach, FL, serving 572 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Broward district, and it has consistently ranked in the bottom 30% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade.

This school faces significant challenges, particularly in early literacy. Only 35% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts, which is dramatically lower than the district (64%) and state (60%) averages. This is also the lowest rate among nearby schools, compared to 83% at Addison Mizner School and 76% at Somerset Academy Boca East. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue, with 34% of students missing too many days, far higher than the 12.6% rate at Addison Mizner. While the school spends more per student ($14,045) than many higher-performing neighbors, this funding has not yet translated into strong academic results.

There are some positive signs. The school shows a relative strength in 5th Grade Science, with 51% proficiency, which is higher than Norcrest Elementary School (44%) and Tedder Elementary School (47%). Math scores have also been improving over the last three years, with 4th Grade Math rising from 45% to 53% proficiency. The percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has dropped significantly from 74% to 53%, but academic performance has not yet caught up. For parents considering school choice, charter schools like Somerset Pines Academy and Somerset Academy Boca East consistently outperform Deerfield Beach Elementary and its traditional public school neighbors.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, May 16, 2018

I am the parent of a child who has attended Deerfield Beach Elementary for 5 years since kindergarten. Although my child only has one year left of elementary school my child will be attending another school for 5th grade due to bullying. Unfortunately, after many attempts of trying to resolve the bullying issue on my own by contacting the school and speaking to the school counselor on multiple occasions, there were no repercussions taken with the child bullying my child. This issue has been going on since the beginning of the school year. I recently spoke with the school counselor, but apparently, her time is more valuable doing anything else except dealing with the well being of the students. If you are concerned about your child getting bullied, DO NOT send him/her here. It will not be handled correctly. Close Quote
