SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL

SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the BROWARD school district, located in HOLLYWOOD, FL with about 301 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

SUNSHINE ELEMENTARY CHARTER SCHOOL, located at 502 N 28th Ave in Hollywood, Florida, operates as a tuition-free public charter school dedicated to providing a comprehensive elementary education. As a charter institution, it functions independently of the traditional district school board while still being held accountable for student performance and state-mandated academic standards. The school emphasizes a structured learning environment, typically focusing on core academic subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, while often integrating unique programs or teaching philosophies that distinguish it from neighborhood public schools.

The school's community-focused approach aims to foster student development in a safe and supportive setting. By maintaining a charter status, the institution often enjoys greater flexibility in its curriculum design and operational policies, allowing it to tailor its instructional strategies to meet the specific needs of its student body. Parents and guardians interested in enrollment or specific academic offerings—such as extracurricular activities, technology integration, or specialized support services—are encouraged to visit their official website at http://sunshine-elementary.com for the most current information regarding their educational mission and registration procedures.
