Summary

Pompano Beach Elementary School is a public school in Pompano Beach, FL, serving 462 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County School District. This school is on a strong upward trajectory, climbing from the bottom 4% of Florida elementary schools in 2016-2017 to the 48th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 2-star rating. The most notable strength is its exceptional math program for upper grades: 78% of 4th graders and 74% of 5th graders are proficient in math, significantly outpacing district and state averages, and ranking as the highest or second-highest among nearby schools like McNab Elementary and Somerset Pines Academy.

However, the school faces a severe challenge with chronic absenteeism, which is the highest among its immediate peers at 44.2% for the 2023-2024 school year. This rate is dramatically worse than the district (33.6%) and state (31.4%) averages, and far exceeds rates at nearby schools like Innovation Charter School (21.4%) and Palmview Elementary (25.9%). This persistent absenteeism crisis is a critical barrier to the school's continued improvement, as it likely caps overall potential despite strong instruction for students who attend regularly.

Academically, the school shows a sharp divide between subjects: while math scores are a clear strength, English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency lags behind district averages by 13-16 percentage points across all grades. The school spends $14,601 per student, which is higher than many higher-performing peers like McNab ($12,406) and Somerset Pines ($11,316), suggesting resources are being invested but have not yet yielded proportional results in literacy. Compared to Sanders Park Elementary, which serves a similar demographic but has a stagnant ranking, Pompano Beach shows clear, sustained improvement. The school's leadership has a clear roadmap: continue successful math strategies, launch a targeted literacy initiative, and aggressively address absenteeism to accelerate its impressive turnaround.
