Summary

Norcrest Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.9% to 36.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's test scores are also consistently lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math 10-15 percentage points below the district and state averages. Additionally, Norcrest Elementary has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.16% to 70.68% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Despite the relatively high per-student spending at the school, ranging from $11,705 to $14,459 over the past few years, the academic performance remains lower than the nearby schools, such as Deerfield Beach Elementary, Pompano Beach Elementary, and Sanders Park Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates.

The data suggests that Norcrest Elementary has significant room for improvement in academic achievement and student engagement. Implementing targeted interventions, addressing chronic absenteeism, and exploring best practices from the higher-performing nearby schools could be potential strategies to improve the school's performance and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.

I was bullied severely there and the teachers did not do anything to help me. I will have given it no stars, if I had the chance. Close Quote
