Summary

North Broward Academy Of Excellence Middle in North Lauderdale, FL, is a public charter school serving 373 students in grades 6 through 8 within the Broward district, and it stands out for achieving top-tier academic results while spending significantly less per student than nearby schools.

This school is a powerhouse in advanced coursework, with proficiency rates on high-school level End-of-Course exams that far exceed district and state averages. For example, 91% of students are proficient in Algebra 1, 92% in Geometry, and 94% in Biology 1—rates that are among the highest in the area, often tying or beating schools like Eagles Nest Middle Charter School and William Dandy Middle School. In 8th-grade math, the school’s 72% proficiency rate is a remarkable 25 points higher than the district average and the highest among all nearby schools, including Ramblewood Middle School (36%). Despite serving a high-poverty population—over 76% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—the school outperforms peers with much lower poverty rates, such as Westpine Middle School and Ramblewood. It also achieves this with remarkable cost-effectiveness, spending just $9,878 per student, far less than the $10,719 to $14,485 spent by other local schools.

The school has shown a resilient recovery from the pandemic, climbing back to the 69th percentile statewide after a dip, and it excels at keeping students in class, with historically low chronic absenteeism rates like 1.4% in 2021-2022. This contrasts sharply with nearby schools like Plantation Middle School (44.3% absenteeism) and Lauderdale Lakes Middle School (31.5%). One area for attention is 8th-grade science, where proficiency (46%) lags behind the district and state averages, even as advanced science scores soar. Overall, North Broward Academy demonstrates that a focused charter model can deliver high performance and efficiency, making it a standout choice in North Lauderdale, especially when compared to the nearby Silver Lakes Middle School, which has much lower rankings and higher spending.
