Jupiter Elementary School

Q: Is Jupiter Elementary School a good school?

Jupiter Elementary School ranks 1453 rd of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Jupiter Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Palm Bay, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 732. While the school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in Florida, Jupiter Elementary faces several challenges that set it apart from some of the nearby schools.

One key difference is Jupiter Elementary's more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (28.01%) and Hispanic (21.86%) students compared to nearby schools like Imagine Schools At West Melbourne, Lockmar Elementary School, and Pineapple Cove Classical Academy At West Melbourne. Additionally, Jupiter Elementary has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate (30.2%) and lower test scores across all grade levels and subjects compared to the Brevard District and Florida state averages.

These challenges may be linked to the school's high percentage of students (68.31%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. While Jupiter Elementary spends $10,378 per student, which is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby higher-performing schools. Addressing these issues through targeted interventions and support could help Jupiter Elementary improve its academic performance and overall student outcomes.

Jupiter is a great school. We have attended for 2 years and have had a great experience. They really make parents feel welcome and take time to make sure the teachers have good training. We could not be happier. The new principle is open and really takes time to get involved. Close Quote

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.
