Summary

Plantation Park Elementary is a public school in Plantation, FL, serving 492 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Broward County Public School District, and it stands out for its consistent academic growth and efficient use of resources. This school has earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the last decade, with recent 4-star peaks, and currently ranks in the upper third of Florida elementary schools (68th percentile). What truly sets it apart is its remarkable consistency: in the 2025-2026 school year, it outperformed the district average in every single subject and grade level tested, including ELA, Math, and Science—a rare achievement among nearby schools.

One of the most impressive stories at Plantation Park is its dramatic turnaround in 5th Grade Math. In just one year, proficiency soared from 39% to 75%, a 36-percentage-point jump that now exceeds the district average by 12 points. Science is another consistent strength, with 5th Grade scores around 71% proficiency, far above the district average of 63% and outperforming nearby schools like Stephen Foster Elementary (67%) and Tropical Elementary (55%). The school also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of 23%, significantly better than the district average of 33.6% and much lower than neighbors like Peters Elementary (40%) and Plantation Elementary (34.8%).

What makes these achievements even more noteworthy is that Plantation Park operates with a per-student spending of $13,016, which is lower than several nearby schools with similar or worse results. For example, Broward Estates Elementary spends $20,814 per student but ranks in the bottom 22nd percentile. When compared to Tropical Elementary, which is less than a mile away and serves a similar student population, Plantation Park consistently outperforms it in nearly every academic metric. This suggests that strong school leadership, teaching quality, and a positive school culture are driving its superior results, making it a model of effective public education in the area.
