Summary

Westchester Elementary School in Coral Springs, FL, is a large public school serving 979 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County Public School District, and it stands out for its consistent academic excellence and remarkable cost-efficiency.

Westchester delivers strong, stable results across all grades and subjects, with recent proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math tightly clustered between 69% and 78%. This consistency is a key strength, especially compared to nearby schools like Panacea Prep Charter School, which shows wide swings in performance due to its small size. Westchester also achieves these results with impressive efficiency: its per-student spending of $10,932 is the second-lowest among comparable schools, yet it outperforms higher-spending peers like Ramblewood Elementary School ($15,411) and Forest Hills Elementary School ($13,685). The school’s 5th-grade science scores are a particular highlight, with 71% of students proficient—well above the district and state averages—suggesting a highly effective science program.

While Westchester is a strong choice, it is not the absolute top performer in the area. Schools like Eagle Ridge Elementary School and Riverside Elementary School consistently achieve slightly higher test scores and have lower chronic absenteeism rates (16.7% and 22.1%, respectively, versus Westchester’s 31.4%). Westchester also has a higher student-teacher ratio (19.5:1) than many neighbors, yet it still maintains top-tier academics. The school has shown impressive resilience, recovering from a pandemic-era dip to stabilize in the 80th percentile statewide for the last three years. For parents, Westchester offers a proven, efficient, and stable education, with the main areas to watch being its larger class sizes and absenteeism rates.
