Summary:
In zip code 33076, there is one middle school, Westglades Middle School, serving grades 6 through 8 in Coral Springs, Florida, as part of the Broward County Public School District.
Westglades Middle School is a large academic powerhouse with 1,646 students, consistently ranking in the 90th percentile or higher statewide for three consecutive years. The school achieves proficiency rates 20-30 percentage points above both the district and state averages across nearly every subject. Its performance on End-of-Course (EOC) exams is exceptional, with 100% proficiency in Geometry and Biology 1 and 99% in Algebra 1 in the 2024-2025 school year. The student-teacher ratio is 22.8:1, and only 10.69% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Spending per student is $9,116, which is below the national average but typical for Florida.
An interesting finding is the "8th Grade Math Dip," where standard 8th-grade math proficiency drops to 71% (2025-2026) and 51% (2024-2025), likely because top-performing students take the Algebra 1 EOC instead. Chronic absenteeism is a hidden challenge at 28.9%, meaning nearly one in three students misses significant school time, despite the school's elite test scores. The school has seen a slight ranking decline from 106th (5 stars) in 2023-2024 to 125th (4 stars) in 2025-2026, a trend worth monitoring for parents.
