Summary

Cocoa High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Cocoa, Florida, with a total enrollment of 1,468 students. The school is part of the Brevard County school district, which is ranked 23rd out of 67 districts in Florida and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Cocoa High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cocoa High School significantly underperforms compared to the Brevard County and Florida state averages across a range of academic measures. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 26% of Cocoa High School students were proficient or better in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 57% in Brevard County and 60% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 71.7% and 89.8% over the past few years, which is lower than the state average of around 90%. Additionally, Cocoa High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 19.5% to 31.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

When comparing Cocoa High School to nearby schools in the Brevard County district, it becomes clear that Cocoa High School is an outlier in terms of academic performance. For example, Cocoa Beach Junior/Senior High School and Edgewood Junior/Senior High School, which are both within 10 miles of Cocoa High School, consistently outperform Cocoa High School on state assessments and have higher graduation rates. The high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low academic achievement at Cocoa High School suggest that the school may be facing significant challenges related to socioeconomic factors, student engagement, and resource allocation.
