Summary

Parkway Middle School is a public magnet school in Lauderhill, Florida, serving grades 4-8 with a total enrollment of 1,084 students. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Parkway Middle School consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages on standardized tests, including EOC (End of Course) exams, Statewide Science, and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Parkway Middle School had 94% proficiency in EOC/Biology 1, compared to 77% in Broward County and 71% statewide. However, the school has a higher chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.9% to 38.1% in recent years, which is a concern. Additionally, Parkway Middle School has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.65% to 83.31% in recent years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby middle schools in the Broward County district, Parkway Middle School generally performs better on standardized tests, particularly in subjects like Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology 1. However, some nearby schools, such as Indian Ridge Middle School and Nova Middle School, also demonstrate strong academic performance in certain areas. The higher per-student spending at Parkway Middle School, ranging from $9,277 to $11,507 in recent years, suggests that the school may have access to additional resources and funding to support student learning.
