Apollo Elementary School

Summary:

Apollo Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Titusville, Florida, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of around 730. The school is part of the Brevard County School District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Apollo Elementary has a diverse student population and relatively high per-student spending, it consistently underperforms compared to nearby schools like Challenger 7 Elementary, Pinewood Elementary, and South Lake Elementary. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.3% to 40.2% over the past 5 years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. Additionally, Apollo Elementary's test scores are consistently lower than the Brevard County and Florida state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Apollo Elementary's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past 8 years, from 735 out of 2,112 Florida elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 1,847 out of 2,256 in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. While the school has a diverse student population and relatively high per-student spending, it faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism, low test scores, and a high percentage of students from low-income families. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions to improve attendance and academic performance, as well as a closer examination of the school's resources and teaching practices.

The principal only cares about AWARDS! None of the faculty cares whether or not a child gets another slice of pizza, just hurry up, shut your mouth, and eat! The teachers’ are inconsiderate to the needs of restroom breaks and also tells the children they're writing is heartless! I wish they could hire teachers that cared and a principal more worried about the welfare of kids then another AWARD on the wall! I had high expectations and I am very let down. Every parent meeting I have been to has always been a sales pitch after sales pitch! I prefer for my child not to come home in urine soaked clothes and my daughter to come home not in tears because her teacher said her writing was heartless. 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.
