After South Broward was integrated in the early 1970s, it absorbed a significant number of the Black student body that had attended Attucks School (now the site of Attucks Middle School), which had served grades 7 through 12. The school's athletic teams are known as the Bulldogs. The school offers a wide range of extracurricular and athletic activities. The school currently serves 2,508 students in grades 9 through 12. It is one of the more ethically and socioeconomically diverse high schools in Florida, providing an accurate demographic sample of the city of Hollywood as a whole. Of the total students at South Broward there are 38.1% white,27.1% Hispanic, 30.7 Black, 1.6 % Asian,0.3 %American Indian, and 3.3% Multi-Racial.
