Summary

Pompano Beach Middle School is a public school in Pompano Beach, FL, serving 1,087 students in grades 6-8 as part of the Broward district, with about half of its students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.

This school presents a fascinating "two schools in one" story. On one hand, its advanced students achieve remarkable results: 89% proficiency in Geometry and 91% in Biology—among the highest scores in the area, rivaling top performers like Lyons Creek Middle School. On the other hand, the general student body struggles in core subjects like English and math, with proficiency rates falling below district averages. This split is more pronounced here than at any nearby school. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which has jumped from 10% to 38.5% over four years—far higher than Margate Middle School (2.3%) or William Dandy Middle School (17.3%).

Interestingly, the school's spending per student ($10,438) and class sizes are average for the area, yet outcomes vary widely. For contrast, Somerset Academy Village Charter Middle School, with a much higher poverty rate, achieves top-tier results, showing that challenges can be overcome. Pompano Beach Middle has improved its state ranking for three straight years, but addressing the attendance crisis is critical to building on its advanced program success and lifting overall performance.

PBMS has vastly improved in recent years. This change can be attributed to the leadership of the Principal (Ms. Livingston) who started with the 22-23 school year. Campus rules are enforced, making for a safer and calmer environment. The IT magnet program is excellent. My child just graduated with ten computer certifications and six high school credits. There are many opportunities for kids to do well academically as well as tutoring for those who need assistance. The teachers are caring and really supportive. The Magnet Coordinator is such a mentor to the students. Overall, test scores keep going up each year. Don’t base judgement on old reviews of considering this school. Close Quote
