Summary:

Roy Allen Elementary School is a public elementary school in Melbourne, Florida, serving 598 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating.

Roy Allen Elementary stands out in several ways. It has a higher percentage of White students (57.19%) compared to nearby schools, which have more diverse student populations. The school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.3% in 2018-2019 to 19.7% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages. Academically, Roy Allen's test scores in English Language Arts and Math are generally lower than the Brevard District and Florida state averages, particularly in the lower grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade ELA, Roy Allen scored 43% proficient or better, compared to 59% for the district and 55% for the state.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Sherwood Elementary and W. Melbourne Elementary for Science, Roy Allen has lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and a less diverse student population. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Roy Allen, ranging from 54.85% to 62.7%, may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism, suggesting that addressing socioeconomic challenges could be an important factor in improving the school's overall 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.
