Summary:
Zip code 33326 in Weston, Florida, is home to three exceptional elementary schools—Eagle Point Elementary School, Indian Trace Elementary School, and Country Isles Elementary School—serving grades PK-5 within the Broward County Public School District, and all three significantly outperform district and state averages across nearly every metric.
Eagle Point Elementary School stands out as the academic powerhouse, ranking in the top 1% of Florida elementary schools (7th out of 2,240) with a 5-star rating for three consecutive years. It achieves near-perfect proficiency rates—99% of 4th graders were proficient in Math and 95% of 3rd graders in ELA—despite having the largest enrollment (1,139 students) and highest student-teacher ratio (18.9:1). Indian Trace Elementary School is a consistent high-achiever, ranking in the top 5% (97th out of 2,240) with strong balanced scores, including 92% 5th-grade Math proficiency and 77% 5th-grade Science proficiency, while having the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (17.09%) and smallest enrollment (667 students). Country Isles Elementary School is a solid performer in the top 22% (78th percentile) with a 4-star rating, but its scores are noticeably lower—for example, 68% 3rd-grade ELA proficiency versus Eagle Point’s 95%—despite having the highest per-student spending ($13,056) and lowest student-teacher ratio (16.2:1).
Key takeaways include that spending does not equal results, as the highest-spending school has the lowest test scores, while the lowest-spending school achieves the highest. Chronic absenteeism is a differentiating factor, with Eagle Point’s 18.0% rate correlating with its top performance, compared to Country Isles’ 22.1%. Both Eagle Point and Indian Trace have shown consistent year-over-year ranking improvements, while Country Isles has seen a slight dip. Overall, zip code 33326 is an educational anomaly where even the lowest-ranked school would be considered top-tier elsewhere, driven by a highly supportive community and strong school leadership.
