Summary

Park Ridge Elementary School in Pompano Beach, FL, is a public school serving 549 students in grades PK through 5, and it is part of the Broward school district.

Park Ridge is currently experiencing a remarkable academic turnaround. After years of ranking in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools, the school has jumped from the 6th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 31st percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating for the first time in years. This improvement is unmatched by any nearby school. The most impressive achievement is in 5th-grade Science, where 71% of students are now proficient—the highest rate among all 10 nearby schools and a dramatic 43-percentage-point increase from just two years prior. While Math and English Language Arts scores are still below district and state averages, they are also improving. Interestingly, the school is achieving these gains with relatively low spending per student ($12,755) and a higher student-teacher ratio (20.3:1) than most neighboring schools.

Despite the positive trends, challenges remain. Chronic absenteeism is a persistent issue at 31.4%, which is higher than several high-performing nearby schools like Somerset Pines Academy (15.9%). A comparison with Somerset Pines is particularly telling: that school serves a more economically disadvantaged student population but outperforms Park Ridge in nearly every subject, showing that high performance is achievable. Additionally, there is a notable gap between grade levels at Park Ridge, with the current 3rd-grade class scoring significantly higher in both ELA and Math than the current 4th-grade class. This suggests the school's recent improvement efforts may be having a stronger impact on younger students, and reducing chronic absenteeism will be key to sustaining this upward trajectory.
