Coconut Creek High School was the first high school constructed in the City; built in 1972. With enrollment at 1,600, only 29% of the students are proficient in reading and 43% in math. 72% of the student body is considered economically challenged.

My, how my high school (Coconut Creek High School) [2] has fallen (support for the statistics above [3]). I remember back in 1986 (my junior year) Coconut Creek High School had five Silver Knight [4] award winners, which is amazing when you consider there are only twelve awards given each year, and any senior in a Broward County high school [5] can compete. It was a record at the time and one I think has yet to be broken.
It's sad to think how far down it has fallen.
