Summary

Park Lakes Elementary School in Lauderdale Lakes, FL, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 903 students in grades PK-5 within the Broward County School District, where 63% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Over the past decade, Park Lakes has transformed from a school in the bottom 10% of Florida elementary schools to one now ranking in the 56th percentile (3-star rating), showing remarkable academic growth that outpaces many nearby schools.

Park Lakes stands out for its exceptional academic momentum, particularly in upper elementary grades. The school's 5th graders achieved a 64% proficiency rate in science—a dramatic 25-percentage point jump in just two years—surpassing the state average and far exceeding nearby schools like Larkdale Elementary School (35%) and Broadview Elementary School (41%). In 4th grade, Park Lakes students scored 69% in ELA and 70% in math, significantly higher than Castle Hill Elementary School (41% ELA, 55% math) and Oriole Elementary School (45% ELA, 49% math). Interestingly, the school achieves these results with lower per-student spending ($11,775) compared to peers like Larkdale ($17,364) and Rock Island Elementary School ($15,737), suggesting efficient use of resources.

A unique strength is the school's ability to accelerate learning between 3rd and 4th grade. While 3rd graders scored below district averages, the same cohort as 4th graders exceeded district averages in both ELA and math—a pattern not seen at nearby schools like Royal Palm Elementary School. Despite a chronic absenteeism rate of 34.9%, Park Lakes continues to improve, indicating effective in-school interventions. For families in the area, Park Lakes offers a compelling choice, outperforming most traditional public school neighbors and even surpassing Central Charter School in elementary-level science (64% vs. 34%).
