Summary:
Zip code 33027 in Miramar, FL, is served by 8 public schools within the Broward County Public School District, offering a mix of 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school for approximately 5,740 students.
The standout schools in this area are the two Somerset Academy campuses. Somerset Academy Elementary (Miramar Campus) is a top-tier 5-star school, ranking in the 91st percentile with strong math and reading scores, while Somerset Academy Middle (Miramar Campus) is the highest-performing middle school, ranking in the 90th percentile with a near-perfect chronic absenteeism rate of 0.5%. In contrast, Silver Shores Elementary School struggles despite having the highest per-student spending ($20,191) and the lowest student-teacher ratio, while Everglades High School boasts an impressive 98.9% graduation rate but faces a significant challenge with a 41% chronic absenteeism rate. The two middle schools present a clear choice: Glades Middle School is a traditional public school with average performance, while Somerset Academy Middle is a high-performing charter.
A key takeaway is the "spending paradox," where the two lowest-spending schools (the Somerset campuses) achieve the highest rankings, while the highest-spending schools (Silver Shores and Coral Cove Elementary School) rank lower. Elementary math is a consistent strength across all five elementary schools, with 4th-grade proficiency ranging from 67% to 89%. However, this foundation doesn't always carry over to middle school, as seen in Glades Middle School's 25% 8th-grade math proficiency. Overall, families in 33027 have a wide range of school options, from the high-performing Somerset charters to more traditional public schools with varying levels of success.
