Summary:
In zip code 33067, there is one middle school, Forest Glen Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 in Coral Springs, Florida, as part of the Broward County school district.
Forest Glen Middle School presents a mixed picture of performance. The school is a standout for students taking advanced high school-level courses, with proficiency rates exceeding 94% in Algebra 1, Geometry, and Biology End-of-Course (EOC) exams. However, its performance in standard grade-level subjects is generally below district averages, particularly in 8th-grade math (52% proficient vs. 61% state average) and 8th-grade science (47% proficient vs. 52% state average). The school's state ranking has been volatile, dropping from the 51st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 44th percentile in 2025-2026. A positive note is the low chronic absenteeism rate of 23.3%, which is significantly better than the district (33.6%) and state (31.4%) averages.
Key metrics show that 37.32% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the school spends $10,711 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 20.7:1. The data reveals a "two-tiered" system where advanced students excel dramatically, while the broader student body struggles to meet grade-level benchmarks in English Language Arts and math. The 8th-grade class exemplifies this contrast, performing exceptionally well in advanced Biology (96% proficient) but poorly in standard 8th-grade science and math. This suggests that academic challenges may be related to instruction or curriculum rather than student attendance, given the low absenteeism rate.
