Summary

Nova Blanche Forman Elementary is a public K-5 school in Davie, FL, serving 731 students within the Broward County School District, with a solid academic track record and a moderate level of economic diversity.

This school has some clear strengths and weaknesses that set it apart from nearby options. Math performance is a relative bright spot—for example, 4th-grade math proficiency reached 81% in the 2025-2026 school year, outperforming both the district and state averages. However, 5th-grade science is a significant concern, with only 44% proficiency, which is 19 points below the district average. The most critical issue is chronic absenteeism: at 22.7%, it is dramatically higher than nearby schools like Imagine Schools Plantation Campus (1.8%) and Championship Academy of Distinction at Davie (1.9%), and even higher than the high-performing Somerset Academy Davie Charter School (13.2%). This attendance challenge is a key factor for parents to consider.

Interestingly, Nova Blanche Forman is part of the "Nova" school family, but its sibling school, Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary (just 0.27 miles away), outperforms it in nearly every subject despite similar demographics. The school also spends less per student ($11,780) than many nearby peers, such as Cooper City Elementary ($13,120) and Tropical Elementary ($13,328). Additionally, the percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch dropped sharply from 71.91% in 2022-2023 to 47.33% in 2024-2025, signaling a rapid demographic shift. With high-performing alternatives like Somerset Academy Davie and Nova Eisenhower just steps away, parents in the area have clear options to compare.

New opportunities and challenges. Many chances to develop him/herself
Lots of love and care from the teachers. Education is flexible to match child's needs and weaknesses and strengths. I am now a highschooler at Williston Northampton School. Close Quote
