BROWARD SCHOOLS: SOME IN EAST GAIN STUDENTS; WEST SEES DROP
Call it this year's new math. Some of Broward County's eastern schools are gaining students after years of losses. And booming western schools, including those in Tamarac,Miramar,Margate and
PembrokePines,
are losing many of their students to charter schools, according to the
district's 20-day enrollment count. "I'm sad to see any schools lose
students, but that's great news for the schools in the east," said
School Board member Katie Leach of FortLauderdale."Those are the schools that are most
underenrolled."

the exam — but the state continues to lag behind national averages,
according to Class of 2012 results released on Monday. Florida’s
average scores in the reading, mathematics and writing portions of the
SAT were 492, 492, and 476, respectively. The national averages for
those three categories are 496, 514, and 488.
