Original Research by School Decision on Fox Trail Elementary School
Fox Trail Elementary sits on South Nob Hill Road in Davie, a sprawling South Florida town that blends equestrian estates, college campuses, busy commercial corridors, and newer residential neighborhoods across a wide footprint. The school serves prekindergarten through fifth grade as a regular public elementary within Broward County Public Schools.
The enrollment is large for an elementary school, with every grade from kindergarten through fifth drawing a substantial number of students. The student body is racially and ethnically diverse: Hispanic students make up close to half the school population, white students roughly a third, and Asian, Black, and multiracial students account for most of the remainder. A little over two-fifths of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, meaning the school serves a genuine mix of income backgrounds. Data on English learner rates and special education percentages were not reported in the available records, so a parent interested in those programs would want to ask the school directly.
On Florida's FAST assessments, Fox Trail posts results that sit meaningfully above what one would expect as a floor. In math, third graders score at a high proficiency rate, and while that rate steps down across fourth and fifth grade, it remains solidly above average for the state in each year. ELA follows a similar pattern: third grade proficiency is strong, fourth and fifth grade somewhat lower but still well above the midpoint. On the fifth-grade statewide science assessment, roughly seven in ten students scored proficient. The trend data across years was not available, so it is not possible to say from this data alone whether these results have been rising, falling, or holding steady. A parent who wants to understand trajectory should ask the school about recent year-over-year performance.
Because Fox Trail covers only the elementary grades, graduation rate and AP or dual-enrollment pathways simply do not apply here. Those metrics belong to the high school end of the pipeline.
The comparison framework for Broward County yields only a single district in the county, so no meaningful peer-district ranking can be drawn. The school's results are positioned against statewide benchmarks instead.
On the housing side, the zip code that surrounds Fox Trail carries home values that are modestly below the Florida statewide benchmark and close to the national median, though they have declined year over year. Rents in the area are running high relative to income by standard affordability measures, with rent consuming close to half of a typical household's income. For families buying, the estimated monthly mortgage on a median-priced home in the area is a substantial commitment at current rates. Davie's housing stock ranges from 1980s ranch-style builds to newer construction, with a burst of large-scale multifamily development underway near the Davie Road corridor, including what is publicly reported as the largest multifamily project in the town's history.
Davie itself is a car-dependent place. Planning analyses have noted that its main roads function more as throughways than walkable streets, though the town has invested in streetscape improvements along the Davie Road corridor and has transit connections linking the area to the broader South Florida commuter rail network. The South Florida Education Center, which anchors Nova Southeastern University, Florida Atlantic University, Broward College, and McFatter Technical College, sits within the town and shapes much of its economic and civic character. Education and healthcare are the largest institutional employers, and the town is actively approving dense new residential development near its downtown core.
For a family with young children, Fox Trail offers strong academic results at the elementary level in a large, diverse school within a community that is actively adding housing and amenities. The school's size and diversity will suit many families; those who prefer a smaller campus environment or have specific questions about support services for English learners or students with disabilities would do well to contact the school before enrolling.
