Summary

Coconut Creek Elementary School is a public school in Coconut Creek, FL, serving 467 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and is part of the Broward County Public School District.

This school stands out for its remarkable academic turnaround. After a period of decline, Coconut Creek Elementary has surged from the 21st percentile in state rankings in 2021 to the 66th percentile in 2026, a 45-point jump that far outpaces nearby schools like Somerset Preparatory Academy and West Broward Academy, which have seen their rankings drop. The school excels in math, with 76% of 6th graders proficient—well above district and state averages—and strong science scores, where 71% of 5th graders are proficient, matching top performers like Margate Elementary. While English Language Arts scores in 3rd and 4th grade are slightly below district averages, the school’s overall academic growth is impressive, especially given that it achieves these results with relatively efficient spending compared to lower-performing schools like Atlantic West Elementary.

Despite its academic success, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge, with 28.2% of students chronically absent in 2023-2024. This is notably higher than schools like Rise Academy (5.4%) and West Broward Academy (2.6%), yet Coconut Creek’s growth suggests strong in-school factors are driving improvement. The school also offers a more balanced education than the nearby Broward Virtual Instruction Program, which has high ELA scores but much lower math proficiency. With a significant drop in students receiving free/reduced lunch from 65.68% to 48.39% over two years, Coconut Creek Elementary is a school on the rise, providing a well-rounded foundation for its students.
