Summary

Deerfield Park Elementary School is a public school in Deerfield Beach, FL, serving 391 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Broward County Public School District.

This school stands out for its exceptional math performance and rapid improvement. In the most recent school year, Deerfield Park’s math scores surpassed both the district and state averages in every grade level tested—a feat not matched by nearby schools like Park Ridge Elementary or Deerfield Beach Elementary, which have seen declining rankings. The school’s state percentile rank has jumped from the 12th percentile to the 46th percentile in just three years, showing a strong upward trend. This turnaround is supported by a high per-student spending of $16,124 and a low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, the lowest among nearby peers. However, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency remains a challenge, with scores below district and state averages in all grades, particularly in 4th grade where only 44% of students are proficient compared to 65% in the district.

A critical concern is the school’s chronic absenteeism rate, which is alarmingly high at 41.0%—nearly 2.6 times higher than Somerset Pines Academy and the highest among all nearby schools. This persistent issue likely limits overall academic growth, especially in ELA, which requires consistent practice. While Deerfield Park’s math-focused improvements are promising, addressing attendance is key to sustaining progress. The school’s investment in small class sizes and targeted instruction offers a strong foundation, but systemic challenges like absenteeism remain the biggest barrier to long-term success.
