Golfview Elementary Magnet School

Summary:

Golfview Elementary Magnet School is a public elementary school in Rockledge, Florida, serving 441 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite having a diverse student population with a higher percentage of African American (41.72%) and Hispanic (22.22%) students compared to nearby schools, Golfview Elementary Magnet School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the Brevard District and Florida state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 29% to 57% compared to the district's 57% to 67% and the state's 53% to 60%. Additionally, Golfview Elementary Magnet School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 10.6% to 30.8%, which is much higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the higher spending per student (between $11,542 and $12,500) and lower student-teacher ratio (11.7 to 13.7) at Golfview Elementary Magnet School, the school's academic performance continues to lag behind nearby schools such as Ralph M Williams Junior Elementary School, Tropical Elementary School, and Hans Christian Andersen Elementary School. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing may be contributing to the school's low academic performance, and further investigation into the specific challenges facing Golfview Elementary Magnet School is necessary to identify and address the root causes of its underperformance.

Open Quote We are moving just to get out of the school district and horrible school. The principal is the worst. She is unprofessional, often degrading staff and parents in front of others. She is unaproachable 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.
