Summary:

The 11 schools in zip code 33063, serving Margate and Coconut Creek as part of the Broward County Public School District, present a dramatic tale of two educational worlds, ranging from elite technical magnets to severely struggling alternative programs. The standout performer is Atlantic Technical College, a high school ranking in the 98th percentile statewide with a perfect 100% graduation rate and exceptional test scores, including 94% proficiency in 10th-grade ELA. In contrast, Suned High School of North Broward represents the most significant challenges, ranking in the 10th percentile with a graduation rate of only 24.9% and a staggering 96.2% chronic absenteeism rate. The K-8 charter Rise Academy School of Science and Technology also shines as a high-achieving school, ranking in the 79th percentile with outstanding math scores and very low chronic absenteeism.

Key metrics reveal a stark divide in performance and attendance. The gap between the highest and lowest ranked schools is a massive 88 percentile points. Chronic absenteeism emerges as the strongest predictor of failure, with the three lowest-performing schools—Suned High School of North Broward, Ascend Career Academy, and Dave Thomas Education Center West—all having rates above 79%, far exceeding the district average of 33.6%. Test scores follow this pattern: Atlantic Technical College dominates high school Biology with 96% proficiency, while Suned High School languishes at 12%. Free/reduced lunch rates vary widely, from 3.55% at Rise Academy to 55.69% at Dave Thomas Education Center West.

Interesting findings show that economic disadvantage is not a determinant of success, as Atlantic Technical College has a moderate free/reduced lunch rate of 32.06% yet is the top school, while Suned High School has a low rate of 8.22% but is the worst performer. Margate Middle School is a hidden underperformer, ranking in the 20th percentile statewide with consistently below-average test scores, potentially impacting feeder high schools. Additionally, West Broward Academy shows a dramatic "middle school math cliff," with 6th-grade math proficiency plummeting to 19% from 67% in 3rd grade, suggesting a curriculum gap. The "magnet effect" is powerful, as choice schools like Atlantic Technical College and Rise Academy achieve exceptional results through specialized programs and strong student engagement.
