Summary

Mims Elementary School in Mims, FL, is a public school serving 393 students in grades PK-6 within the Brevard district, where a high percentage of families (68.19%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. After a decade of low performance, the school has shown a promising upward trend, reaching its highest state ranking in years at the 37th percentile, though it still trails behind many nearby schools.

The most significant challenge at Mims Elementary is its exceptionally high chronic absenteeism rate, which was 30.2% in the 2023-2024 school year. This rate is nearly double that of high-performing neighbors like South Lake Elementary (7.0%) and Enterprise Elementary (14.7%), and it has been a persistent issue for years. This absenteeism likely drives the school's volatile test scores, which swing dramatically from year to year and grade to grade—for example, 4th-grade math proficiency dropped from 77% to 21% in just one year. Despite spending more per student ($16,970) than any nearby school, including Enterprise Elementary ($11,431), academic results have not kept pace, suggesting that resources are being used to address high needs without yet achieving proportional gains.

There are bright spots: 5th-grade science is a consistent strength, with 61% of students proficient in 2025-2026, matching the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1, though this hasn't translated into higher performance compared to larger schools like Enterprise Elementary (16.1:1). Nearby Pinewood Elementary (2.44 miles away) has a lower poverty rate and much lower absenteeism, consistently outperforming Mims, while Oak Park Elementary (2.2 miles away) shares similar demographics and struggles, indicating that Mims' challenges are part of a broader pattern in high-needs communities.
