About Schools in Davie, Florida
Davie, Florida has 16 ranked public schools, giving parents a real range to evaluate. The city's average school score lands at 6.4 out of 10 — a solid baseline, but the spread matters more than the average. Seven of those 16 schools, or 44%, score 7 or higher, meaning parents willing to research have a strong shot at landing their child in an above-average school without leaving the city.
The elementary tier is where Davie performs best. Fox Trail Elementary leads the city with an 8.5 out of 10 — the highest score among all ranked schools here. Somerset Academy Davie Charter School follows at 8.2, offering a charter option that competes directly with the district's top performers. Nova Dwight D. Eisenhower Elem rounds out the upper tier at 7.6, and Silver Ridge Elementary sits just behind at 7.4. Parents of young children have four elementary schools clearing the 7-point threshold, which is an unusually strong concentration at one grade band.
The secondary picture is narrower. McFatter Technical College, rated 7.5, is the standout at the high school level — but it serves a specific population pursuing career and technical education, not a traditional academic track. Parents with middle or high school-aged children should research feeder patterns carefully, since the elementary strength does not automatically extend upward through the grade levels. The city's 6.4 average pulls in part from lower-scoring secondary options that offset the strong elementary cluster.
For practical planning, families focused on elementary years have the most flexibility. The gap between Fox Trail at 8.5 and the city average at 6.4 is wide enough that school selection will meaningfully affect the experience. Charter eligibility, attendance boundaries, and lottery timelines all apply depending on which schools are in play — Somerset Academy in particular operates under charter enrollment rules distinct from the Broward County district process. Start with the top seven schools, confirm current boundary and enrollment data directly with Broward County Public Schools, and visit before committing. The data points to a city where the right school matters considerably more than the zip code alone.
