Summary

Silver Ridge Elementary School in Davie, FL, is a public school serving 849 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for five consecutive years, placing it in the top 20% of Florida elementary schools. This school stands out for its consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science that significantly exceed both district and state averages—for example, 76% of 3rd graders met ELA standards compared to the district's 64%, and 71% of 5th graders were proficient in Science, outpacing nearby schools like Davie Elementary School (49%) and Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary (44%).

One of the most compelling features of Silver Ridge is its low chronic absenteeism rate of 21.5%, which is well below the district average of 33.6% and has been steadily declining, indicating effective efforts to keep students engaged. The school also boasts a remarkable turnaround in 5th-grade Science, jumping from 40% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 73% just two years later—a 31-point improvement that suggests a highly successful curriculum change. While Silver Ridge is a strong performer, it sits in a neighborhood packed with elite schools, such as Somerset Academy Davie Charter School (95th percentile) and Griffin Elementary School (92nd percentile), meaning it's a top-tier option but not the absolute highest-ranked in its immediate area.

Interestingly, Silver Ridge's per-student spending of $12,280 is moderate compared to peers, yet it outperforms schools with similar or higher funding, like Championship Academy Of Distinction At Davie, which spends $12,100 but scores far lower. This highlights how effective resource use matters more than raw spending. The school's demographic has also shifted, with the percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch dropping from 42.98% to 29.33% in just two years, a trend that contrasts with nearby schools like Nova Blanche Forman Elementary (47.33%). For parents, Silver Ridge offers a balanced, high-quality education with standout science instruction and a strong community focus on attendance.
