Broward County Public Schools Overview

The Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) is the sixth-largest school district in the United States and the second-largest in Florida. With approximately 260,000 students across more than 300 schools and centers, BCPS covers 1,223 square miles of Southeast Florida — from Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood to Coral Springs, Weston, and Pembroke Pines.

The district is well known for its magnet and Cambridge International programs, career academies (including aviation and marine science tracks), and a fully online Virtual School option. BCPS also offers the Children's Services Council–funded after-school enrichment programs at hundreds of sites district-wide.

Recent years have seen BCPS add Diwali as an official school holiday and expand hurricane-preparedness measures, building up to five severe weather makeup days into the calendar. The projected 2026–2027 calendar follows BCPS's traditional scheduling pattern; official dates are subject to School Board approval.
