About Aef - Westham Academy

AEF - Westham Academy serves 35 students in grades 5 through 11 with an exceptionally small class environment in Davie, Florida.

The school has earned an impressive 9.2 out of 10 MySchoolScout rating, reflecting strong performance within its specialized educational approach.

While ranked #859 out of 1462 Florida schools, placing it in the 41st percentile statewide, the school's small size and personalized attention likely create opportunities for individualized instruction that larger schools cannot provide.

About 31% of local residents hold bachelor's degrees or higher, while the poverty rate stands at 19.4% among the area's nearly 29,000 residents.

AEF - Westham Academy operates in Broward County's large suburban setting, providing families with an alternative to traditional school environments through its remarkably small student body and intensive teacher-student relationships.

What Parents Should Know

With an enrollment of 35 students, Aef - Westham Academy is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

With a student-teacher ratio of 8.1:1, Aef - Westham Academy offers a notably low ratio compared to the national average. This typically means smaller class sizes and more opportunities for one-on-one interaction between students and teachers.

As a private school, Aef - Westham Academy operates independently from the local public school district. Families considering this school should inquire about tuition costs, financial aid availability, and the admissions process. Private schools are not required to follow the same curriculum standards as public schools, which can be either an advantage or a consideration depending on your priorities.
