Summary:

Audubon Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Merritt Island, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of around 450. The school is part of the Brevard County School District, which is ranked 22nd out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Audubon Elementary consistently outperforms the Brevard County and Florida state averages in standardized test scores across multiple grade levels and subjects.

The school also has a more diverse student population, with 63.56% White, 6.22% African American, 13.78% Hispanic, and 11.56% two or more races. However, Audubon has seen a higher chronic absenteeism rate in recent years, ranging from 16.9% in 2018-2019 to 25.9% in 2020-2021, which is an area of concern.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Emma Jewel Charter Academy, Endeavour Elementary School, and Cambridge Elementary Magnet School, Audubon Elementary generally outperforms them in academic metrics, such as standardized test scores. Additionally, Audubon has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $9,834 in 2019-2020 to $12,606 in 2022-2023, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13 to 14.4 in the past three school years.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
