Summary

Everglades High School in Miramar, FL, is a large public high school serving approximately 1,973 students in grades 9-12 within the Broward County School District, and it has earned a 4-star rating for its above-average performance.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 98.9% for the 2024-2025 school year—significantly higher than both the district (91.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. This rate is competitive with top-performing nearby schools like Somerset Arts Conservatory and City/Pembroke Pines Charter High School, both at 100%. However, the school faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism, which sits at 41.0%—worse than the district (33.6%) and state (31.4%) averages, and higher than West Broward High School (43.8%) and City/Pembroke Pines Charter (34.4%). This creates a paradox where many students still graduate despite frequent absences, likely due to strong support systems.

Academically, Everglades presents a split profile: it excels in English Language Arts (72% proficiency in 9th grade), Biology (79%), and US History (84%), all outperforming district and state averages. Yet, it struggles significantly in mathematics, with only 40% of students proficient in Algebra 1—a 28-percentage-point gap below the district average of 68%. This math deficit is more pronounced than at nearby schools like West Broward (68%) and City/Pembroke Pines Charter (81%). Compared to Somerset Academy Charter High, which has similar demographics and ranking, Everglades lags in math and reading but leads in US History and Biology, making them interesting "mirror image" competitors. The school's spending of $10,608 per student and student-teacher ratio of 24.9:1 are average, suggesting that targeted strategies in math instruction and attendance are key areas for improvement.

This is my child first year at EHS. Some of the teachers are great and the "ideas" suggested for behavior etc, are great but with 3000+ teenagers, it is impossible to be on track all the time. I think that the FCAT is more important than what the kids are learning. There is just not enough time to ensure that all students are grasping the material. There are also kids in the classes that just don't care and this hurts the ones who are trying to learn. I am sure that this is not only at EHS but a sad comment on education as a whole today. If I could home school my child I would. Close Quote

This is my first year at EHS and I have to say that it is def. not one of the best schools to go to. Teachers do not know how to discipline kids the correct way, kids run a muck and do whatever they please. Although our principal is excellent, there are still many kids who simply do not care. A lot of this is coming from the kids transfered here from Miramar High who weren't supposed to be here in the first place. Yes, EHS does offer certain academic classes and extra curricular activites that do exceed those of other high schools, but is getting that really worth being in an unsafe envoirnment during school? I don't think so. Close Quote
