Summary

Sanders Park Elementary School in Pompano Beach, FL, is a public school serving 413 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward School District, where 68.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school stands out for its dramatic academic turnaround. After years of lower state rankings, Sanders Park jumped to the 65th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year, earning a 3-star rating. This improvement is especially notable in English Language Arts (ELA), where 4th graders achieved a 75% proficiency rate—10 points above the district average and 15 points above the state average. This is the highest 4th-grade ELA score among all nearby schools, including Palmview Elementary and Pompano Beach Elementary. However, the school faces a unique challenge in 5th-grade math, where only 58% of students are proficient—11 points below the district average. This "5th-grade math slump" contrasts with strong math performance in 3rd and 4th grades (71% and 78% respectively), suggesting a need for targeted support in upper-grade math concepts.

A critical concern is chronic absenteeism. In the 2023-2024 school year, 45.1% of Sanders Park students were chronically absent—nearly double the rate at nearby Innovation Charter School (21.4%) and Somerset Academy Pompano (20.8%). Despite this, the school achieves strong academic results, particularly in ELA, indicating that attending students are highly engaged and receiving effective instruction. The school also outperforms its demographic expectations compared to Robert C. Markham Elementary, which has a similar poverty level but ranks in the 13th percentile. With per-student spending of $16,439, comparable to Cresthaven Elementary, Sanders Park demonstrates that effective use of resources can drive meaningful academic improvement.
