Summary

Coral Park Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Coral Springs, FL, serving 463 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Broward County Public School District.

Coral Park Elementary is a school in transition, with a rapidly changing student population. The percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch has dropped dramatically from 56% to 32% in just two years, suggesting the neighborhood is becoming more affluent. However, the school's academic performance has not yet caught up to this shift. While it spends significantly more per student ($16,587) than top-performing nearby schools like Riverglades Elementary School ($11,326) and Park Trails Elementary School ($10,828), its test scores and state ranking remain lower. A major concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 32.1%—much higher than the 18-21% rates seen at those higher-performing neighbors. This suggests that simply spending more money isn't solving the core challenges the school faces.

Academically, performance varies significantly by grade and subject. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency (61%) trails the district average, while 5th-grade math (71%) exceeds it. There is a bright spot in 5th-grade science, where the school consistently meets or exceeds district and state averages. The school's closest neighbor, the K-8 charter school Imagine School at Broward, offers a stark contrast with a 4-star rating and a chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.3%, outperforming Coral Park in nearly every subject. For parents, Coral Park represents a school with potential, but one that is still working to translate its high spending and changing demographics into consistent, strong academic results across all grade levels.

Open Quote my child is in 2nd grade and I find that the work is not organized. The monthly, weekly, daily work is not planned enough to give to the parents, They have no textbooks to bring home to follow any lesson plans. Too many excuses. Close Quote

Open Quote This is the worse school for a child with any special need or learning delays! They do not follow through with accommodation. Their teacher only try to teach for the FCAT, they don't care about the students. If you have a child with special needs DO NOT take them to this school! They don't listen to parents and can careless about the child that needs support. The amount of homework they give every day is ridiculous as well. Just a horrible school overall for those with special needs. Close Quote

Open Quote The school is as good as the people who run it. Why does everyone there look so angry all the time? Specially the car loop ladies during drop off, they have this angry look on their face, it's unbearable! The assistant principal walks around like she hates her job and the principal is like a name, not a person. She's never actively involved with the students. Is there actually a principal at this school? A good educational institution is reflective by a strong leadership, not by names and angry looking faces. Close Quote
