DEERFIELD BEACH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

I love DBES! I attended for 2nd- 5th grade, and was really glad because it was way better than the previous school for me. This school has great learning method for regular classes, autism, and high achieving. I totally recommend it because your child would get a great education, great success, and have great support around them! Also, thank you the staffs in 2016-19 for making my years there amazing!

I went to this school from kindergarten to 5th grade. It was a amazing school. All the teachers where nice, and the principal Mr.Gerlach really engaged with his students and took the time to learn about them. 5th grade was amazing, I could of never asked for a better teacher Mrs.Skulzski. She seriously needs a raise. She’s AMAZING

This is a review of the historical significance of the school building. Deerfield Beach Elementary is the second oldest school in Deerfield Beach and it is still in use. It is the second oldest operating school in Broward County. Another school was built in Deerfield Beach in 1920 but it was quickly outgrown which necessitated the building of a new school. The 1920 school is managed as a museum by the Deerfield Beach Historical Society.

This two story L shaped masonry school in the Mediterranean Revival style was designed by the architectural firm of Thomas D. McLaughlin and Associates. McLaughlin was one of the Florida land boom architects. The school board purchased a parcel of land for $21,000. The Alfred W. Kimmel Company of Pompano Beach built the school in 1927 for a cost of $55,000. The school was designed to educate 1st through 8th grade with the students going on to Pompano beach for high school. The school was added to the National Register of historic Places in 1990. Architecture features of the school include arched walkways, terrazzo floors, Spanish terracotta barrel tiles, and a bell tower with Corinthian columns. There is a one and a half story auditorium wing that seats 277 people. When I went by it looked the building from 1927 was no longer in use. A more modern school has been built directly behind the historic building. I spoke to a friend who works at the school who told me that there is asbestos and mold damage in the 1927 building so it is empty. It's such a shame that it has deteriorated. The school has a legacy of having educated thousands of students.

I highly recommend DBES for your child. It's a fun learning environment, with amazing teachers, high standards, and reasonable work. Even though i just graduated, i miss the place.

Best School ever. I love it and they teach well. Best for all grades. It's a fun school!
