Summary

Griffin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cooper City, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 592 students. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Griffin Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Florida, with a statewide ranking between 193-365 out of over 2,200 schools in recent years. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are significantly higher than the Broward County and Florida state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 77% of 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 61% in Broward and 57% statewide. Griffin Elementary also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14.6 in recent years, which is lower than the nearby schools.

While Griffin Elementary outperforms the nearby Pasadena Lakes Elementary, Pines Lakes Elementary, and Renaissance Charter School at Pines in academic proficiency, the nearby Embassy Creek Elementary and Pembroke Lakes Elementary schools also demonstrate strong academic performance, with proficiency rates comparable to or exceeding those of Griffin Elementary. The school's increase in chronic absenteeism, from 18.4% in 2021-2022 to 33.6% in 2022-2023, is an area of concern that the school should address.

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
