How School Grades Are Established

The FDOE assigns school and district grades based on a points system that evaluates up to 12 components, including student achievement in English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies, as measured by the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST). Other factors include learning gains (especially for the lowest-performing 25% of students), graduation rates, college and career readiness, and participation in accelerated courses. Each component contributes up to 100 points, with a district’s total score out of 1,200 determining its letter grade. The 2024-2025 school year saw a tougher grading scale for secondary schools, yet Brevard’s consistent performance secured its “A” status. Preliminary FAST data from June 2024 showed Brevard students surpassing state averages in ELA across all grades, with standout improvements in Grade 10 (6% increase) and Grade 6 (67% proficiency vs. 54% statewide). Math scores rose in grades 3-6 and Geometry, though Algebra performance remains a focus for improvement.

District-Wide Performance

Brevard’s “A” rating follows a recovery from a “B” in 2021-2022, impacted by post-COVID assessment disruptions, and aligns with its “A” grade in 2024. Of the district’s schools, 30 earned an “A,” 17 received a “B,” and the rest were graded “C” or are pending finalization by the FDOE (three schools). The district’s student-to-teacher ratio of 17:1 and 98.1% teacher licensure rate support its academic stability. BPS is addressing Algebra weaknesses through enhanced middle school instruction and grant-funded resources, aiming to sustain its upward trajectory.

Endeavour Elementary School (Cocoa): Fell from a “C” to a “D,” reflecting ongoing challenges.

Atlantis Elementary School (Port St. John) and Audubon Elementary School (Merritt Island): Both slipped from “A” to “B,” reflecting challenges in maintaining top performance.

Outliers and Observations

Consistent High Performers: Schools like Manatee Elementary School, West Shore Junior/Senior High School, Edgewood Jr./Sr. High School, Freedom 7 Elementary School, and Viera Charter School have consistently maintained “A” ratings, often praised for innovative curricula and community engagement. Manatee Elementary, for instance, boasts 86% math proficiency and 82% reading proficiency, ranking among the top elementary schools in Florida.

Persistent Low Performers: Endeavour Elementary School (Cocoa) and Golfview Elementary Magnet School (Rockledge) received “D” grades, indicating ongoing challenges that may require targeted interventions.

Middle School Variability: While John F. Kennedy Middle School, Herbert C. Hoover Middle School, and Viera Middle School earned “A” grades, others like James Madison Middle School, Lyndon B. Johnson Middle School, and Stone Magnet Middle School maintained “C” grades, suggesting uneven progress.

Charter School Strength: Charter schools such as Odyssey Charter School, Pineapple Cove Classical Academy, and Sculptor Charter School consistently earn “A” grades, contributing significantly to the district’s overall rating.

COVID-19 Impact: The district’s “B” rating in 2021-2022 was due to the absence of assessments in 2019-2020 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The return to “A” in 2024 and 2025 highlights a robust recovery.

Socioeconomic Context: Schools with high percentages of economically disadvantaged students (e.g., Endeavour, Golfview, Palm Bay Elementary at 100%) face greater challenges, yet some, like Palm Bay Elementary, improved to a “B” despite socioeconomic hurdles.

Looking Ahead

Brevard Public Schools is working with the FDOE to finalize grades for three schools. The district is prioritizing Algebra instruction improvements and has secured grants to support middle school math programs. Additionally, BPS is advancing a facilities modernization plan with WXY and Saralee Morrissey Consulting to address aging infrastructure, which could enhance future academic outcomes. Superintendent Rendell noted, “Our ELA gains are a testament to our focus on literacy, and we’re committed to replicating this success in math.”
