Summary

Chapel Trail Elementary School in Pembroke Pines, FL, is a solidly performing public school serving 597 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward district, and it has earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for six consecutive years. This school stands out for its consistent academic excellence across all grades and subjects, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades all falling within a tight range of 66% to 81% in the most recent testing year. This uniformity is a key differentiator from nearby schools like Silver Shores Elementary, which saw a dramatic drop in 5th-grade Math (51%) compared to its 3rd-grade Math (89%), or Silver Lakes Elementary, which had a very low 4th-grade Math score (49%).

Chapel Trail also excels in 5th-grade Science, with a 59% proficiency rate that outperforms several neighbors, including Sunset Lakes Elementary (57%) and Franklin Academy F (44%). The school’s chronic absenteeism rate of 21.1% is significantly better than the district average of 33.6% and has been steadily declining, contrasting with higher rates at nearby charters like Greentree Preparatory Charter School (26.6%) and Somerset Academy (24.8%). Additionally, Chapel Trail spends $14,139 per student, which is more efficient than Panther Run Elementary ($15,948) and Hawkes Bluff Elementary, both of which have lower state rankings.

While top-performing charters like Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines and Somerset Academy have higher state rankings, they come with trade-offs such as larger class sizes and higher absenteeism. Chapel Trail offers a more supportive environment with a lower student-to-teacher ratio (17:1) and strong, consistent academic growth. Its state ranking has slipped slightly from a peak of 154th in 2018-2019 to 499th in 2025-2026, but it remains a reliable choice for families seeking stability and balanced performance across all elementary grades.
