Summary
Ramblewood Elementary School in Coral Springs, FL, is a public school serving 658 students in grades PK through 5, part of the Broward district, and has become a standout turnaround story in the area. After a low point in 2020-2021, the school has climbed to a 4-star rating for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years, now ranking in the 73rd percentile statewide. This is a remarkable recovery from the 22nd percentile just five years prior, making it a clear success story among nearby schools like Parkside Elementary School and Maplewood Elementary School, though Maplewood consistently outperforms it in most subjects.
One of the school's biggest strengths is its 4th-grade English Language Arts performance, where 82% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—the highest among all nearby elementary schools, including Maplewood (77%) and Forest Hills Elementary School (69%). Ramblewood also shows dramatic improvement in 5th-grade Science, jumping from 39% proficiency in 2023-2024 to 67% in 2025-2026, a 28-point increase that outpaces any other school in the area. In upper elementary math, 72% of 4th graders and 78% of 5th graders were proficient in 2025-2026, with the 5th-grade score 9 points above the district average and 16 points above the state average, indicating strong mathematical foundations as students progress.
Despite these academic gains, chronic absenteeism remains a challenge at 31.0% in 2023-2024, similar to district and state averages, and far above pre-pandemic levels of 8.5%. The school's per-student spending of $15,411 is the highest among nearby schools, including Renaissance Charter School At University ($10,156) and Panacea Prep Charter School ($9,419), yet its student-teacher ratio of 15.3 is in the middle of the pack, suggesting funds may go toward resources or support staff rather than smaller class sizes. Overall, Ramblewood is a strong, improving school with standout literacy and science programs, though families may want to consider attendance patterns and compare it to nearby options like Maplewood for a full picture.
