Eau Gallie High School

Q: Is Eau Gallie High School a good school?

Eau Gallie High School ranks 454 th of 807 Florida high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Eau Gallie High School is a public high school in Melbourne, Florida, serving 1,586 students in grades 9-12. 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 Eau Gallie High School has a higher percentage of White students (57.57%) compared to nearby schools, it has seen a decline in its four-year graduation rates, dropping from 89.9% in 2020-2021 to 82.4% in 2022-2023. This is lower than the graduation rates of nearby high-performing schools like Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School (98.6%) and Satellite Senior High School (97.1%). Additionally, Eau Gallie High School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.8% in 2018-2019 to 27.1% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the rates of nearby schools like Satellite Senior High School (16.1%) and Melbourne Senior High School (17.3%).

Eau Gallie High School consistently underperforms compared to the Brevard County and Florida state averages in various standardized tests, including EOC (End of Course) exams and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Eau Gallie High School's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (9%), Geometry (33%), and 10th grade English Language Arts (44%) were significantly lower than the Brevard County and Florida state averages. The school's higher proportion of students from lower-income families (55.17% receive free or reduced-price lunch) and its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 20:1 may contribute to these challenges, which are not seen to the same extent at nearby high-performing schools like Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School and West Shore Junior/Senior High School.

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.
