Summary:
The city of Hallandale Beach, Florida is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a predominantly minority student population, with African American and Hispanic students making up the majority in most schools.
Among the standout schools, Gulfstream Academy of Hallandale Beach is the largest, with over 1,300 students, but its test scores are generally below the Broward County and Florida state averages. Hallandale High School has a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.3%, but its test scores are also significantly below the county and state averages. The Lanier-James Education Center, an alternative school, has extremely low test scores and a very low 4-year graduation rate of just 9.1%, despite having the highest spending per student among the schools.
Overall, the schools in Hallandale Beach face significant disparities in academic performance, with high chronic absenteeism rates and a need for targeted interventions to address the unique challenges facing their predominantly minority student populations. While higher spending does not necessarily translate to better outcomes, the data suggests that the schools in this area require additional support and resources to improve student success across the board.
