Summary:
In zip code 33009, there is one high school, Hallandale High School, serving grades 9 through 12 in Hallandale Beach, Florida, as part of the Broward County Public School District.
Hallandale High School presents a complex picture for parents. On one hand, the school boasts a strong graduation rate of 93.1% for the 2024-2025 school year, which is higher than both the district (91.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this positive metric contrasts sharply with very low academic proficiency scores. For the 2025-2026 school year, only 25% of students were proficient in Algebra 1 and 31% in Geometry, compared to district averages of 68% and 60%, respectively. English Language Arts proficiency is also significantly below district and state levels, with 41% of 9th graders and 42% of 10th graders meeting standards. The school's state ranking has been consistently low, sitting in the 25th percentile for 2025-2026.
A critical concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 52.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is dramatically higher than the district (33.6%) and state (31.4%) averages. This likely plays a major role in the low test scores. The school serves a student body where 45.78% are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 20.6:1 with per-student spending of $12,292. While the school shows relative strength in US History (69% proficient), the overall data suggests that addressing chronic absenteeism and foundational skill gaps in math and reading are the most pressing challenges for Hallandale High School.
