Summary

Imagine Charter School At North Lauderdale Elementary is a small K-5 charter school in North Lauderdale, FL, serving 416 students within the Broward district, where a very high percentage of families (89-93%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, this school has faced significant challenges, ranking in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools for five consecutive years. While recent test scores show some improvement—for example, 5th grade science proficiency jumped from 16% to 43%—the school still trails far behind nearby schools. In 3rd grade math, only 51% of Imagine students were proficient, compared to 72% at Pinewood Elementary. Similarly, 5th grade ELA scores (47%) are well below the district average (67%) and schools like Coconut Creek Elementary (70%). Chronic absenteeism, which once affected nearly half the student body (46.4%), has improved to 30.3%, but remains higher than most area schools.

What makes this school stand out is the combination of high poverty and low spending. Imagine spends just $11,988 per student, significantly less than nearby district schools like Morrow Elementary ($14,704) and Broadview Elementary ($14,550). Interestingly, North Broward Academy of Excellence spends even less ($10,406) but achieves much stronger results, ranking in the 47th percentile. This suggests that Imagine's struggles are not just about funding, but also about how resources are used. The school is showing early signs of a turnaround, but it still has a long way to go to match the performance of other local schools serving similar communities.
