Summary

North Broward Academy Of Excellence is a public charter elementary school serving 640 students in grades K-5 in North Lauderdale, Florida, which is part of the Broward School District. While the district is ranked 25th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, North Broward Academy Of Excellence faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores, and a very high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

The school's chronic absenteeism rates have ranged from 25.8% to 33.6% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. Academically, North Broward Academy Of Excellence's test scores are generally below the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels, such as the 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 40% compared to 57% for the district and 55% for the state. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 77.97% to 79.75%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

When comparing North Broward Academy Of Excellence to nearby schools, such as Renaissance Charter School At University, which is located about 1.74 miles away, the school is generally underperforming academically. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $9,137 to $10,391 in recent years, the school's academic performance remains below the district and state averages, suggesting that additional resources alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions to improve attendance, academic support, and addressing the broader socioeconomic needs of the student population.
