Western High School

Western High School is a high school located in Davie, FL, serving grades 9–12 and approximately 3,566 students. Operated by Broward, the campus sits about 25.2 miles from The Miami's newsroom and is part of The Miami's ongoing local education coverage.

The school employs roughly 144 full-time-equivalent classroom teachers for a student-to-teacher ratio of about 24.8:1. That ratio is above the state average for FL, suggesting larger class sizes than the regional norm.

Western High School is a traditional zoned public school within Broward, meaning enrollment is generally tied to residence within the school's attendance boundary. Boundary maps and feeder patterns are published by the district and updated annually.

State accountability ratings for FDOE are released annually and combine student achievement, growth, and closing-the-gaps metrics. The Miami publishes rating updates as soon as they become public each fall, with comparisons to nearby campuses and prior-year trends.
