While Embassy Creek Elementary School ranks even higher statewide (96th percentile), Griffin excels in early-grade math and has a lower student-teacher ratio (15.4:1 vs. 19.4:1). Charter schools like Renaissance Charter School at Cooper City and Franklin Academy Cooper City serve K-8 but generally lag in elementary test scores, despite lower spending per student ($9,023 and $9,939 vs. Griffin's $14,452). Griffin's higher investment and smaller classes likely contribute to its superior outcomes, making it a top-tier choice for families seeking a strong academic foundation in Cooper City.

As a parent of an African American child,
This school allows a lot of white privileged tendencies. Sadly the old Assistant principal left. This new guy is a joke, Nordstrom. Principal acts like she cares and she always has an open door policy yet on the two occasions I’ve requested speak with her I’ve been handed off to someone else. Close Quote
