Summary

Charter School Of Excellence is an elementary school located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 209 students. It is a public charter school within the Broward County school district, which is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 30.9% to 46.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the Broward County and Florida state averages. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the Broward County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were 44-59% and 31-68%, respectively, compared to 57-62% and 63-69% for Broward County. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.41% to 84.21% over the past few years, indicating a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

Interestingly, some nearby public schools, such as Harbordale Elementary and Virginia Shuman Young Elementary, have significantly higher proficiency rates, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, compared to Charter School Of Excellence. This suggests that the academic performance of Charter School Of Excellence is below that of some of its higher-performing counterparts in the area. The fluctuations in spending per student at Charter School Of Excellence, as well as the variations in spending levels among the nearby public schools, may also impact the resources and support available to students and teachers, potentially influencing academic outcomes.
