Gemini Elementary consistently outperforms the Brevard District and the state of Florida in academic assessments across all grade levels and subjects.

Gemini Elementary also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate (10.7% in 2022-2023) compared to the nearby schools, which range from 14.9% to 35.6% chronic absenteeism.

Gemini Elementary's higher spending per student ($10,099 in 2022-2023) and lower student-teacher ratio (14.1 in 2022-2023) compared to the state and district averages may be contributing factors to its strong academic performance. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the majority of the past decade, ranking among the top 100-200 elementary schools in Florida, which is an impressive feat. While Gemini Elementary outperforms the nearby schools in many metrics, it is important to consider the unique characteristics and challenges faced by each school, as the surrounding schools serve more diverse student populations that may require different approaches and resources to support their educational needs.

Open Quote As parents, we put an emphasis on the importance of family, school, and community stability in our childrens' lives. I'm quite impressed with the continuity in behavioral values, curriculum, and the emphasis on enjoying learning from grade to grade. The teachers seem to really work well together providing a smooth transition to the next grade level. 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.
