Summary

Castle Hill Elementary School in Lauderhill, FL, serves 548 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward district, and is located in a community where about 66% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most exciting news about Castle Hill is its dramatic academic turnaround. After years of struggling, the school jumped from the 21st percentile to the 37th percentile in state rankings, earning a 2-star rating for the first time in years. This improvement is especially visible in 5th-grade Science, where proficiency soared from just 19% three years ago to 65%—now above both the district and state averages. In fact, Castle Hill's Science scores are now competitive with top nearby schools like Village Elementary (66%) and Lauderhill Paul Turner Elementary (68%). The school is also closing the gap with its closest rival, Lauderhill Paul Turner, outperforming it in 3rd-grade Math (64% vs. 59%) and tying in 4th-grade Math.

While the school spends more per student ($13,645) than many nearby schools, it has a higher student-teacher ratio (19.5), suggesting funds are being invested in programs or support staff rather than smaller classes. Chronic absenteeism, a challenge across the Lauderhill area, has improved to 27.7%—better than neighbors like Larkdale Elementary (49%) and Endeavour Primary Learning Center (45%). The broad-based gains in 3rd-grade Math and 5th-grade ELA suggest this turnaround is real, but the school still trails district averages in most subjects, making sustained momentum critical.
