The top reported proficiency rate is 68% in Math. The lowest is 49% in Science.
Original Research by School Decision on Winston Park Elementary School
Winston Park Elementary sits on Winston Park Boulevard in Coconut Creek, a planned suburban city in Broward County, serving children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The school is part of Broward County Public Schools, one of the largest districts in the country, though recent district-level changes and priorities were not surfaced in the research, so that context is left out rather than guessed.
The academic picture, drawn from Florida's FAST assessments and the statewide science test in the most recent school year, shows a school that performs solidly in the earlier tested grades and softens by fifth grade. In reading and math at third and fourth grade, the majority of students tested at proficient levels, with math in particular running well above half in both grades. By fifth grade, proficiency rates in both reading and math drop meaningfully, and the fifth-grade science result sits below half. A parent may want to ask the school directly about how learning progression is supported in the upper elementary grades, and whether that dip reflects a curriculum transition, student population shifts across grade levels, or something else the school is actively working on. Trend data across multiple years was not available for this school, so it is not possible to say whether these results are improving, stable, or declining.
The school's enrollment is on the larger side for an elementary school. Racially, the student body is genuinely diverse: Hispanic students make up the largest single group, followed by Black students and white students, with Asian students and children of two or more races also present in meaningful numbers. A substantial share of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, though not a majority. Data on students with individualized education programs and English learners was not reported, so those dimensions of the school's support environment are not possible to characterize here.
No program offerings data was provided, so it is not known whether Winston Park runs any specialized curriculum tracks, enrichment programs, or other structured options beyond the standard elementary pathway.
Coconut Creek itself is a deliberately designed community. Sidewalk-lined streets run under live oaks and palms, and the city has invested in landscaping, parks, and waterways as part of its public identity. Publicly reported sources describe it as the self-styled "Butterfly Capital of the World," with Butterfly World and a nearby regional nature park among its civic anchors. The city runs a free local transit system, the Butterfly Express trolley, with community bus routes connecting to the broader Broward County Transit network. A regional library shared with Broward College's North Campus provides public study and computer access.
The housing market around the school's zip code is expensive relative to both state and national benchmarks, with home values well above the Florida median. Values have edged down slightly over the past year while rents have risen modestly, but the cost of carrying a mortgage here, relative to national income benchmarks, places this market firmly in the high-pressure range for buyers. Renters face a rent-to-income burden that exceeds what most financial planners consider sustainable. Families considering a move here should weigh these costs carefully.
The city is in an active growth phase. A large master-planned mixed-use development called Mainstreet at Coconut Creek, publicly reported as breaking ground on a phased buildout starting in late 2025, is adding a substantial number of new homes and retail space on former farmland along Lyons Road. This will reshape the city's housing stock and population over the coming years, and families considering enrolling at Winston Park should keep in mind that district attendance boundaries can shift as enrollment patterns change in fast-growing communities.
The comparison data for this school's county drew from a single-district universe, which makes peer ranking statistically uninformative, so no relative positioning is offered here.
