Summary

North Broward Academy Of Excellence is a K-5 elementary school in North Lauderdale, FL, serving 665 students within the Broward school district, where about 68% of students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

One of the school's standout strengths is its remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 25.8% (2023-2024), which is significantly better than nearby schools like North Lauderdale Elementary School (42.9%) and Tamarac Elementary School (35.1%). This is a critical foundation for learning, as consistent attendance is strongly linked to academic success. Additionally, math scores have shown a clear upward trend over the past three years, with 3rd graders reaching 75% proficiency in 2024-2025—12 points above the district and state averages. The school also operates efficiently, spending about $10,406 per student, which is roughly $4,000 less than neighboring traditional public schools like Broadview Elementary School and Pinewood Elementary School, yet achieving comparable or better academic results.

Despite these positives, the school faces challenges. Science scores have consistently lagged behind district and state averages, with 5th graders at 57% proficiency in 2025-2026 compared to the district's 63%. Chronic absenteeism has also risen from a low of 6.3% in 2021-2022 to 25.8% in 2023-2024, a trend that mirrors broader district struggles. Overall, North Broward Academy offers a solid option for families seeking a school with strong attendance and improving math performance, though it may not match the elite scores of selective charter schools like Panacea Prep Charter School.
