Summary

Panther Run Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pembroke Pines, FL, serving 330 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward School District, and it stands out for its consistent academic performance and exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of 21.0%—the lowest among nearby schools like Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines (22.9%) and Greentree Preparatory Charter School (26.6%), and well below the district average of 33.6%.

This school offers a steady, reliable educational environment, ranking in the 70th percentile statewide for the past five years—a contrast to the volatile swings seen at nearby schools like Silver Lakes Elementary School, which dropped from the 86th to the 46th percentile. Panther Run particularly excels in upper-grade English Language Arts, with 78% of 5th graders proficient in 2025-2026, significantly higher than the district (67%) and state (61%) averages. However, a notable "math dip" appears in 5th grade, where only 62% were proficient, below the district average of 69%, suggesting a potential area for focus. The school invests heavily in small class sizes with a student-teacher ratio of 15.7:1 and spends $15,948 per student, yet it doesn't achieve the top-tier results of some lower-spending peers like Somerset Academy (96th percentile, $8,251 per student).

Families in the area also have a unique choice with The Pembroke Pines Florida, a high-performing lab school just 0.76 miles away under the Fsu Lab School district, which ranks in the 91st percentile and outperforms Panther Run in most subjects. Panther Run's declining free/reduced lunch population (from 38% to 27.6% in two years) suggests a demographic shift that may contribute to its improving scores and strong attendance culture, making it a solid, intimate choice for families seeking consistency and strong reading skills.
