Summary

Sea Castle Elementary School in Miramar, FL, is a mid-sized public school serving 878 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward district, and it stands out for its strong math program and a notable recent shift in its student population.

Sea Castle’s biggest academic strength is math, where proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades consistently match or exceed district and state averages—for example, 70% of 5th graders were proficient in math, outperforming the state average of 62%. However, science is a persistent weakness, with only 47% of 5th graders proficient, well below the district’s 63%. The school has also seen a dramatic drop in students qualifying for free or reduced lunch, from 76% two years ago to 51% now, signaling a significant demographic shift. While chronic absenteeism has improved to 28.4%, it remains a challenge. Compared to nearby schools, Sea Castle holds its own against Somerset Neighborhood School (just 0.55 miles away) in some grades but lags in 5th-grade outcomes, where Somerset outperforms it in math (78% vs. 70%), ELA (74% vs. 58%), and science (58% vs. 47%). The high-performing Pembroke Pines Charter Elementary School dominates the area with top-tier scores, but Sea Castle remains a solid, traditional public school option.

For parents, Sea Castle offers a well-rounded education with a clear math advantage, but the school’s recent dip in state ranking (to the 49th percentile) and ongoing science struggles are areas to watch. Its per-student spending of $12,538 is higher than some peers but lower than others, suggesting reasonable resource use. Overall, Sea Castle is a dependable choice for families seeking a neighborhood school with a strong math focus, especially as it navigates its changing community dynamics.
