Summary:
Zip code 33324 in Davie/Plantation, Florida, is home to four schools within the Broward County Public School District, including three elementary schools and one middle school, with no high schools present.
The standout school in the area is Imagine Schools Plantation Campus, a K-8 charter school that boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 1.8%—far below the district and state averages—and has a history of 5-star ratings, though it dropped to 4 stars for 2025-2026. In contrast, Indian Ridge Middle School stands out for its advanced coursework, achieving 100% proficiency in Geometry and 99% in Biology 1, but struggles with a general 8th-grade math proficiency of only 21%, suggesting a two-tier system where top students excel while others lag. Among elementary schools, Fox Trail Elementary School and Central Park Elementary School are similarly strong, both earning consistent 4-star ratings, though Fox Trail serves a more economically diverse population (43.22% free/reduced lunch) and still matches or slightly outperforms Central Park in test scores, making its results particularly impressive.
Key metrics reveal a wide disparity in socioeconomic status, with Imagine Schools having only 1.81% of students on free/reduced lunch compared to Fox Trail's 43.22%. Spending per student varies from $9,351 at Indian Ridge to $11,861 at Fox Trail, yet this does not directly correlate with performance, as Indian Ridge excels in advanced courses despite lower spending. A notable concern is the "8th Grade Math Dip," where proficiency drops sharply at both Indian Ridge (21%) and Imagine Schools (68%), well below state averages, indicating a challenge for students not in advanced math tracks. Overall, the zip code offers strong elementary options and a middle school with exceptional advanced programs, but parents should be aware of the performance gaps in standard 8th-grade math.
