Summary

Avant Garde Academy Of Broward is a public charter school in Hollywood, FL, serving 1,122 students in grades 6 through 12 within the Broward school district. This school stands out for its exceptional graduation rate, which reached 98.6% in the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding the district average of 91.4% and the state average of 92.2%. This rate is also higher than nearby traditional high schools like South Broward High School (93.0%) and Hollywood Hills High School (96.7%), and it rivals top-performing magnet schools such as Don Soffer Aventura Charter High School. Additionally, the school has a history of strong math performance, particularly in Algebra 1 and Geometry, where proficiency rates were 81% and 70% respectively in 2023-2024, well above district and state averages.

However, the school faces notable challenges. Its state ranking has dropped to the 44th percentile (2 stars) in 2025-2026, a decline from a 3-star rating in previous years. Recent test scores have also dipped, with Algebra 1 proficiency falling to 54% (compared to the district's 68%) and 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 55% (vs. district 64%). A critical concern is chronic absenteeism, which reached 39.5% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the district average of 33.6% and the state average of 31.4%. This issue likely contributes to the recent academic declines and is a key area for improvement.

Compared to nearby schools, Avant Garde Academy is a solid mid-tier option. It outperforms struggling schools like Whiddon Rodgers Education Center (1-star, 16th percentile) and Hallandale High School (1-star, 25th percentile), but it lags behind elite schools like Iprep Academy North (5-star, 94th percentile) and Sheridan Technical College (5-star, 95th percentile). The school operates efficiently, spending $8,117 per student, which is less than nearby traditional schools like McArthur High School ($9,560) and Hollywood Hills High School ($10,178). For parents, Avant Garde Academy offers a strong guarantee of graduation and a unique 6-12 grade structure, but recent trends in test scores and absenteeism warrant careful consideration.
