Summary

Tradewinds Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Coconut Creek, Florida, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 973. The school is part of the Broward County School District, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Tradewinds Elementary has seen higher per-student spending in recent years, the school faces several challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rates have consistently exceeded the Broward County and Florida averages, reaching 31.4% in the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, the school's English Language Arts and science proficiency rates have generally lagged behind the county and state averages, though its math proficiency rates have been more mixed. Nearby schools like Coral Park Elementary and Renaissance Charter School at Coral Springs have tended to outperform Tradewinds on test scores and attendance metrics.

The school's ranking and rating have also fluctuated over the years, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance and student outcomes. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted support for economically disadvantaged students could be crucial steps in enhancing Tradewinds Elementary's overall effectiveness and student success.

I have 2 children in this school. One in Kindergarten and one in 4th. This is a very good school. The teachers and staff are compassionate with the kids and passionate about making sure our kids get a great education. Nothing is perfect but I would definately recommend this school to anyone.
