This
School Points and Grade
The Florida Department of Education issued high school grades on January
4th and Pompano Beach High School received the highest amount of points
for any Broward County Public High School. The system awards points
according to numerous criteria. Because a small number of our students
did not make learning gains on the 2011 Reading FCAT, a letter grade was
deducted from our school resulting in a B. We have a plan to
improve the performance of that small sub-group of students. As the
top ranked
high school in Broward County, we are committed to providing the best
educational opportunities for all of our students.

their dream university.

able to tell my past jittery self, “It’s fine. Don’t
be nervous. You’ll make friends, and you’ll work hard.” Knowing
I can’t convey these messages to myself, I still think of what I
wish I’d known my freshman year. More...
