Summary:
Zip code 33024, encompassing parts of Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, and Davie, is home to 15 schools within the Broward County Public School District, serving students from elementary through high school with a mix of traditional public, charter, and alternative options.
The standout school in the area is Hollywood Park Elementary School, which achieves the highest test scores in the zip code despite having a high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, defying common trends. In contrast, West Hollywood Elementary School faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the 12th percentile. Championship Academy Of Distinction At Davie boasts an exceptionally low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.9%, while McArthur High School struggles with a 52.3% chronic absenteeism rate. The alternative school, The Quest Center, operates with a unique high-cost, low-volume model, spending $63,363 per student with a 5.1:1 student-teacher ratio.
Key metrics reveal wide disparities: average chronic absenteeism is 28.5%, and average per-student spending (excluding The Quest Center) is $12,942. Middle school math proficiency is a consistent weakness across Apollo Middle School, Driftwood Middle School, and Pines Middle School, all below state averages. Notably, higher spending does not guarantee better performance, as Driftwood Elementary School spends more than top-ranked Hollywood Park but achieves lower results. Charter school performance is mixed, with Charter School Of Excellence At Davie performing well overall, while Championship Academy excels in attendance and some subjects but struggles in science.
