Summary:
In zip code 33064, there is only one high school, Andrews High School, which serves grades 9 through 12 in Pompano Beach, Florida, as part of the Broward County school district.
Andrews High School is a small school with 376 students, but it faces severe challenges that set it apart from district and state averages. The most critical issue is an extreme chronic absenteeism rate of 89.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is nearly three times the district average of 33.6% and far above the state average of 31.4%. This directly contributes to very low academic performance, with the school ranking in the bottom 12th percentile of Florida high schools (739 out of 838) for the 2025-2026 school year. Test score proficiency rates are critically low across all subjects, with only 6% of 9th graders proficient in English Language Arts and 17% proficient in US History, compared to district averages of 63% and 79%, respectively. The graduation rate of 80.0% also lags behind the district (91.4%) and state (92.2%) averages.
Compounding these issues is an extremely high student-teacher ratio of 53.7:1, which is unsustainable for effective instruction and limits individualized support. Interestingly, the free/reduced lunch rate is only 6.12%, which is unusually low and creates a paradox with the school's poor performance. On a positive note, there is a slight upward trend in state ranking and test scores from previous years, suggesting recent interventions may be having a small impact. However, the school remains in a state of crisis, with the absenteeism rate being the primary driver of its low outcomes.
