Florida Atlantic University’s A.D. Henderson University School has been named the No. 2 Best Public Elementary School in Florida by Niche, the largest website for researching public and private K-12 schools. The rankings were based off of a variety of factors, including test scores, student-teacher ratio and reviews from students and parents.
