Q: Is Astronaut High School a good school?

Astronaut High School ranks 503 rd of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Astronaut High School is a public high school located in Titusville, Florida, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 1,112. 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 Astronaut High School has a higher percentage of White students (67.45%) compared to nearby schools, it faces significant challenges. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.1% is lower than the state and district averages, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, Astronaut High School's test scores are consistently lower than the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, indicating academic performance challenges. The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 313 out of 693 Florida high schools in 2015-2016 to 503 out of 807 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby high-performing schools like Merritt Island High School and Space Coast Junior/Senior High School, Astronaut High School's performance lags behind, with lower test scores, graduation rates, and higher chronic absenteeism. The high percentage of students (51.35%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, a proxy for low-income status, may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Overall, Astronaut High School appears to be facing significant challenges that may require targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.

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.
