Good schools are a grace to real estate agents, because every homebuyer with kids wants to be near one, and many are willing to pay a premium for the convenience.
In Broward County alone there are nearly 300 elementary, middle and high schools. Some are good, some are okay, and the rest are not going to help you sell a neighborhood.
We’ve combed through pages of rating data from Florida’s Department of Education, and in a multi-part series, we’ll be publishing the county’s top 100 elementary schools, top 50 middle schools, and top 25 high schools.
For the first part of our series, we give you Broward’s best elementary schools, starting with Somerset Academy, a charter school in Davie, which received top marks in English, mathematics and science achievement.
