Summary:
Zip code 33328 in Cooper City, Florida, is served by a single high school, Cooper City High School, a large public school for grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 2,399 students within the Broward district.
Cooper City High School is a standout performer academically, consistently ranking in the top 20% of Florida high schools with a 4-star rating and a state percentile rank between the 82nd and 85th over the past three years. Its graduation rate is exceptional at 98.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, far exceeding both the district (91.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. The school excels particularly in humanities, with 92% of students proficient in US History and 75% of 10th graders proficient in English Language Arts, both significantly above state averages. However, performance in STEM subjects is more mixed; while Geometry proficiency is strong at 65%, Algebra 1 proficiency (61%) is slightly below the district average, and Biology proficiency (68%) trails both district and state averages.
The most notable finding is a paradox of high chronic absenteeism. At 41.0% for the 2023-2024 school year, this rate is substantially worse than the district (33.6%) and state (31.4%) averages, despite the school's strong test scores and graduation rate. This suggests that while attending students achieve at high levels, a large portion of the student body misses significant school days. Additionally, the school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 25.2:1 and spends $10,233 per student, indicating it achieves top-tier results with larger class sizes and relatively moderate spending. Only 23.26% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a relatively low level of economic disadvantage in the area.
