Cape View Elementary School

Q: Is Cape View Elementary School a good school?

Cape View Elementary School ranks 1338 th of 2256 Florida elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Cape View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cape Canaveral, Florida, serving 305 students in grades PK-6 and part of the Brevard District, which is ranked 22 out of 68 districts in the state.

While Cape View Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (65.9%) compared to nearby schools like Emma Jewel Charter Academy and Cambridge Elementary Magnet School, the school generally performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. However, its 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 41% is higher than the state average of 53%, though lower than the district's 58%. Cape View Elementary has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 12.3% in 2019-2020 to 21.1% in 2022-2023, notably higher than the 5.3% rate at Freedom 7 Elementary School of International Studies.

The school's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 55.63% to 60.66% over the past three years, may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance and higher chronic absenteeism. While Cape View Elementary struggles, nearby schools like Robert L. Stevenson Elementary School consistently perform at a much higher level. This suggests that Cape View Elementary has opportunities to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, potentially by analyzing the practices of higher-performing schools in the area.

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.
