Summary

Parkside Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Coral Springs, FL, serving 713 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Broward County Public School District.

Parkside is a remarkable turnaround story, climbing from a 2-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 4-star rating in 2025-2026, with its state ranking percentile jumping from the 46th to the 73rd percentile. This improvement is especially notable when compared to its closest neighbor, Coral Springs Elementary School, which ranks in the 60th percentile despite spending more per student ($15,404 vs. Parkside's $14,050). Parkside excels in math, with 3rd-grade (79% proficient) and 4th-grade (75% proficient) scores competitive with top-performing nearby schools like Westchester Elementary School and Forest Hills Elementary School. The school also achieves strong results despite a chronic absenteeism rate around 27-29%, suggesting effective in-class instruction and intervention strategies that help mitigate the impact on overall test scores.

While Parkside shines in math and English Language Arts, its 5th-grade Science scores (59% proficient) lag behind the district (63%) and state (60%) averages, and are significantly lower than nearby schools like Maplewood Elementary School (81%) and Country Hills Elementary School (75%). This "science gap" represents a clear opportunity for growth. Overall, Parkside is a school on the rise, efficiently using its resources to serve a diverse student body and deliver strong academic outcomes that exceed expectations based on its demographics alone.
