School flagged for federal support as disability scores lag four years running

What happened

The K-8 school's 2025-26 improvement plan records that it is identified for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement, or ATSI, under federal law. The trigger is its students-with-disabilities group, which scored 36% on the federal points index in 2024-25. That is the fourth year in a row below the 41% federal threshold. No other student group at the school is below it.

Why it matters to families

About 9% of students here receive special education services. ATSI means the federal government has judged that this group is not being served well enough, and the school must now plan and report on fixing it. The school is also eligible for a school improvement grant because of it.

The evidence

The improvement plan, printed September 28, 2025, lists the 2024-25 ESSA identification as ATSI and shows the students-with-disabilities subgroup at 36% with four consecutive years below 41%. The same plan shows this group at 24% English language arts achievement in 2024-25, against 53% for the school as a whole. Broward's own renewal review of the school separately rated its special education programme as only Partially Meeting the Standard.
