Summary:
In zip code 33324, located in Davie, Florida, there is one middle school, Indian Ridge Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 as part of the Broward County Public School District.
Indian Ridge Middle School is a large school with 1,833 students and a student-teacher ratio of 21.8:1. It has a consistent three-year track record of above-average performance, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 62nd to 68th percentile among Florida middle schools. The school spends $9,351 per student, which is below the state average, yet it achieves higher proficiency than district and state averages in 9 out of 11 tested subjects. Only 28.97% of students are eligible for free or reduced lunch, and the chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6% is lower than both the district and state averages.
The most notable finding is a stark contrast in math performance. The school is a powerhouse in advanced coursework, with near-perfect proficiency in Geometry (100%) and Biology 1 (99%), and 91% in Algebra 1. However, only 21% of 8th graders were proficient in standard grade-level math, compared to the state average of 61%. This suggests that top math students are channeled into advanced classes, leaving a less advanced cohort in the standard 8th-grade math class. Overall, the school shows positive year-over-year growth in core subjects like ELA and science, but parents should be aware of this significant gap in standard 8th-grade math achievement.
