Summary

Quiet Waters Elementary School in Deerfield Beach, FL, serves 1,072 students in grades PK through 5 and is part of the Broward County School District, which ranks in the top third of Florida districts.

Academically, Quiet Waters consistently scores below the Broward district average in most subjects and grade levels. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency is 59% compared to the district's 73%, and 5th-grade science is 49% versus 63%. This gap is even wider when compared to nearby schools like Park Springs Elementary, which boasts proficiency rates of 73-82% in the same subjects. A major concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 33.9%, which is higher than most nearby peers, including Winston Park Elementary (24.4%) and Del Prado Elementary (18.8%). Only Deerfield Park Elementary (41.0%) has a higher rate among immediate peers. This high absenteeism is a strong indicator of a systemic challenge that directly impacts learning and test scores.

Despite these challenges, there are some positive signs. Quiet Waters shows a relative strength in mathematics, particularly in 5th grade, where proficiency (62%) meets the state average. The school also spends $13,082 per student, which is higher than several higher-performing peers like Tradewinds Elementary ($13,004) and Winston Park Elementary ($11,308). Additionally, the percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch has dropped dramatically from 62.2% to 42.7% in just two years, and test scores have shown some improvement over the last two years. If the chronic absenteeism issue can be addressed, these trends could signal the beginning of a turnaround for the school.
