Summary:
Zip code 33071 in Coral Springs, Florida, is home to four elementary schools serving grades PK-5 (K-5 for Panacea Prep), all part of the Broward school district, which ranks in the 67th percentile statewide.
Riverside Elementary School stands out as the top performer, ranking in the 87th percentile statewide with consistent 4-star ratings and the lowest chronic absenteeism (22.1%) among public schools. Maplewood Elementary School shows the most dramatic improvement, jumping from the 61st to the 84th percentile over three years, with strong gains in math and science. Ramblewood Elementary School offers the smallest class sizes (15.3:1) and highest spending per student ($15,411), yet ranks lower than Riverside, suggesting that factors beyond spending drive success. Panacea Prep Charter School is a math powerhouse with 89.3% average math proficiency, but struggles in English Language Arts (61% proficiency) and has a very high student-teacher ratio (38.3:1).
Key takeaways include an inverse relationship between spending and performance—Riverside spends less ($11,696) but outperforms Ramblewood. Chronic absenteeism strongly correlates with rankings, with Riverside's lower rate (22.1%) aligning with its top status. All three public schools have absenteeism below the district average (33.6%). Panacea Prep's extreme subject disparity and very low free/reduced lunch rate (11.3%) create a unique profile. Overall, families have multiple strong options, with Riverside leading, Maplewood rapidly improving, and Ramblewood offering small classes, while Panacea Prep excels specifically in math.
